Dark spirits refer to distilled liquors that turn darker in appearance with adequate aging in sealed barrels. Some of the commonly available dark spirits include rum, brandy, cognac, bourbon and scotch whiskey and wine. They are produced in distilleries by fermenting sugarcane molasses, barley, corn, wheat and grapes. The spirits are stored in recycled barrels with charred interiors to enhance the taste and color. Dark spirits are also processed with congeners to improve the fermentation process. They are also utilized in the manufacturing of liquor chocolates, candies, sauces and marinades. Moderate consumption of dark spirits can aid in pain management, increasing bone mineral density, preventing common cold and peripheral artery diseases and maintaining warm body temperatures.
