Example Of Beverage Production And Services Essay

Alcohol just like any other good has different brands so as to meet the customer’s demand. Alcoholic beverages are usually of three types; beer, wines, and spirits. Each and every consumer has their own preference of the drink. As such, bars ensure that they have all these drinks in their counters so as to ensure that consumer’s preferences are readily available. The following paper would look at several aspects pertaining to one of the bars I visited and some of the observations I made that are in relations to the questions put forward.
I recently visited Royals bar and I made several observations in terms of brands. I identified two brands of spirits including the whiskeys and vodka. These were the two major brands of spirits in the bar. The whiskies and vodka’s in turn are of different types and also the prices vary. One of the whiskeys that I chose is the bourbon whiskey. The major attribute that this whiskey has is that it is triple distilled from corn. This product has been aged and it has been distilled since the 18th century. The product has thus been aged for more than one century. Bourbon whiskey is famous due to the fineness and smoothness of the product. The whiskey is usually aged in new charred oak barrels and distilled to no more than 80% alcohol by volume (160 proof). The proof requirement for keeping it into the container for aging is less than 125 proof or in other words 62.5% alcohol by volume. Even though these are the proof requirements for aging, it is put into bottles at 80 proof or 40% alcohol volume. The other brand i.e. vodkas also are bottled to no more than 85 proof that is 42.5% alcohol by volume.
