Before your WSET Level 2 Spirits Exam - Quick Review from @winebeerspirits

Prepare for your WSET Level 2 Award in Spirits exam with this comprehensive, rapid-fire review of the curriculum. We move quickly through the essential four-step journey of a spirit: from processing the raw material, through alcoholic fermentation and distillation, and finally to post-distillation operations like maturation and blending. We'll focus on the core knowledge and key terms you need to master, such as congeners, conversion, reflux, rectification, and the fractions of the distillation run (Heads, Hearts, and Tails). This session is designed to bring the most frequently tested concepts to the front of your mind to help you secure a Pass, Pass with Merit, or Pass with Distinction.

The review then dives deep into the Principal Spirit Categories and their defining features, covering everything from the double-pot distillation of Cognac and the single-column still of Armagnac to the specific aging requirements for Scotch and American Whiskey. We break down Grappa production, the distinct styles of Rhum Agricole and Cane Spirits, the difference between Tequila and Mezcal, and the neutrality of Vodka. Finally, we touch on Flavored Spirits, including the rules for London Dry Gin and the characteristics of Aniseed Spirits like Pastis and Absinthe. Study these core concepts, and good luck with your exam!
