Gin is one of my favorite spirits as well as the number one ingredient chosen to create cocktails by bartenders around the world. It is a neutral grain spirit that is redistilled with botanicals to extract the aromatic compounds, with the predominant flavor being juniper berries. The variations among gin products are the results of the differences in combinations and concentrations of these botanicals in the distillation process. In this article, I will introduce you to some remarkable gins to demonstrate that, although different in aroma and flavor, each brand of gin is exquisite in its own way with the fusion of the botanicals it uses.
First, Tanqueray Gin, a renowned gin originated in Bloomsbury, London, has the smallest number of botanicals. Its recipe contains only four botanicals: juniper, coriander seed, angelica root, and licorice. Thus, Tanqueray is one of the few gins which focus greatly in the juniper note. Although the lack of citrus botanical makes it slightly drier than others, the dominant juniper can give out floral, citrus, and even black pepper spice notes.
Tanqueray’s much younger brother, Tanqueray No. Ten Gin, has all four base

It is an artisanal and distinctive gin with a collection of nine classic gin aromatics together with a further twenty-two locally sourced botanicals, all of which hand-picked by foragers across the hills, bogs and shores of Islay, Scotland. Some notable botanicals like the local juniper berries, the chamomile, meadowsweet and spearmint leaves make their appearances easier to identify than the rest. The Botanist is a highly complex gin with overall floral and herbal notes balance out a clear juniper scent. People might think that this gin, which contains thirty-one herbs and flowers exclusively from Islay, is a disorderly heap, but it is a wonderful gin with a harmonious, well-balanced flavor

Taylor Welch Current Event 1 GEOG 102 MWF 12:30 Current Event 1: Building a Mini-State with Avocados and Guns A small town in Tancítaro succeeded self-rule in a part of Mexico. The town is free of drug cartels unlike anywhere else in Mexico. It is also free of Mexican Police and Politicians who are known as the biggest problem to the people in Tancítaro.

– Talavera is not necessarily a physical object, it is more of a unique artwork that can vary by each family. Talavera is very complex artwork that takes a lot of dedication and time to make and paint. It all begins with recollecting clay that is found in this area which limits where talavera can be produced, and because talavera is not an actual physical object you are not limited on what you can create. Typically, most objects that are produced and then decorated are mugs and plates. But if you were to travel and see the city of Puebla you can see building that are decorated in talavera artwork, which gives it a unique implementation that cannot be seen anywhere else.

It is that time of the year again, prom season. Teenagers, mostly girls, prepare for weeks prior to this event. People regularly go tanning to make sure they look darker for their special day. A large amount of time, money, and effort goes into getting and keeping tanned skin. In an effort to avoid paleness, people tan to fulfill their need for confidence and beauty. But, everyone seems to avoid thinking about the consequences. Girls want to be tan to have a higher self esteem, even though studies show that tanning is horrible for a person’s health.
In the Article “Taking a “War of Words” Too Literally” written by Deborah Tannen it is often indicated that being extremely pugnacious is the subconscious nature of our everyday Westernized society. This type of normalized reasoning for an altercation is pointed out as being the incorrect justification to have an argument. Therefore Tannen is correct that in today's society a vast majority of Americans have adapted a very fervent aggressive and argumentative culture that they do not seem to recognize. Modern politics and the media have a large role played out within the cultivation of such a contentious type of debate though the root comes from the education system.
In Amy Tan’s “Two Kinds” Jin-Mei mother had dreams as she was coming to America. “My mother believed you could be anything you wanted to be in America. You could open restaurant. You could work for the government and get good retirement. You could buy a house with almost no money down. You could become rich. You could become instantly famous” (Tan 377). She is not alone. There are many people who come to America to make all these dreams come true. They all come with their children with the hope of finding a better life, to get away from the insecurities in their countries. However, parents who immigrate to America can put too much pressure on their children to fulfil the parents ‘dream, and by putting too much pressure on their children it leads the children to live a limited life with less choices.
