If we were to find a good Cinderella story in the world of spirits (of the liquid sort), grappa might just be the one the slipper fits. Thought of for centuries as the poor man’s drink, the 20^th century has seen grappa elevated to connoisseur worthy heights as a distinguished distillate…and the fairy tale continues. 

If Italian digestives, those after meal drinks said to aid in one’s gastric performance, are not something you’ve paid much attention to other than an occasional tipple of an overly sugared limoncello, you may be wondering what, exactly, is grappa.
