Distillation of Wines
Civilizations in almost every part of the world developed some form of alcoholic beverage very early in their history. The Chinese were distilling a beverage from rice by 800 BC. The Romans apparently produced a distilled beverage, although no references are found in writings before AD100. Production of distilled spirits was reported in Britain before the Roman conquest. Portugal, Spain, France and the rest of Western Europe probably produced distilled spirits but this was limited until the 8[SUP]th[/SUP] century, after contact with the Arabs.

Tequila's not getting much love here. I do like a good anejo. Just don't like paying for it. I once tried a glass of 24 year old Bourbon. Very smooth with a mellow flavor that wasn't to sweet or spicy, very well balanced but what was most noticable was it's buttery finish. Cost me $24 for a single 1.5 once glass. I enjoyed that with a 12 year old Monte Cristo at the Rino Club in Charlotte.

I treated myself to a bottle of Patron Anejo for my 50th b'day. Smooth and tasty.
