You must know by heart the flavor, label, and logo of your favorite alcoholic beverage. But are you fully knowledgeable about your preferred booze?
Cognac, the type of brandy that includes hennessy, must obviously be made in Cognac, France. Despite the fact that Hennesy is a French liquor, its creator, Richard Hennessy, is an aristocrat from Ireland. He traveled to France to enlist in Louis XV's army, where he developed the Hennessy cognac.
Noe Booker, Jim Beam's grandson, took over the business right away. To counter the rising popularity of vodka and gin, he produced small-batch bourbons without the addition of water. As a result of the product's success, other distillers started to imitate Jim Beam.
You can find this alcohol easily in any liquor store. Produced in France, Grey Goose is known as a "elegant vodka." Grey Goose was made in France, but an American businessman named Sidney Frank invented it. The shocking aspect of this liquor isn't it, though!
To maintain its purity, Grey Goose bottles can only be washed with Grey Goose vodka rather than plain water. Before being used to seal the bottles, the corks were soaked in the liquor.
Absolut Vodka was developed in Sweden by Lars Olson Smith, and its bottle design was inspired by the transparent, label-free apothecary bottles of the 18th century. It makes the vodka's composition visible from the outside. Absolut Vodka distinguished itself from its rivals at the time who were using taller and thinner bottles thanks to its distinctive shape and feature.
It's likely that you are familiar with Jose Cuervo if you enjoy tequila. However, did you know that the tequila brand was the first to receive approval for tequila distribution in Mexico?
Mexico's foreign distilleries were outlawed in 1795 by King Carlos IV. He granted permission for tequila production and distribution in Mexico to Jose Maria Guadalupe Cuervo y Montana, who was Jose Cuervo's owner at the time.
You might be pleased to learn that Captain Morgan, the company mascot, is based on a real historical figure from the 17th century if you enjoy this spiced rum. To burst your bubble, he isn't even remotely a pirate.
Samuel Bronfman, who liked how the Jamaicans mixed spices into their rum, officially built the distillery in 1944. He chose Sir Henry Morgan as the company mascot and gave the brand the name "Captain Morgan."
Dona Amalia, the wife of Bacardi's founder, observed fruit bats in the distillery. She thought the animals represented luck. As a result, she desired a bat as the company's logo. The decision's impact on Bacardi's enormous success is still unknown.
The singer of "Fly Me to the Moon" brought an alcoholic beverage made up of Jack Daniel's whiskey, bourbon, water, and three ice cubes to one of his performances. He referred to the alcohol as "the nectar of the gods," letting the audience know how excellent it is. By endorsing Jack Daniel on stage, Sinatra indirectly increased the brand's popularity.
John Walker, the name of the company's founder, is eerily similar to the name of the brand. He was initially an ordinary farmer who sold his land to develop a grocery store in Kilmarnock. Grocery stores at the time allowed the sale of alcohol, most of which was single malt Scotch whisky.
Smirnoff provides yet another interesting fact about well-known alcoholic beverages. Smirnoff and Cock'n Bull Ginger Beer created the popular vodka-based Moscow mule in the late 1930s. The cocktail was developed as a tool for branding and marketing.
