Let us take you behind the scenes to see how we bring our veteran-made products from concept to cup, maintaining high standards every step of the way.
Selecting Ingredients: The Start of Our Crafting Journey
At 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee, every exceptional beverage begins with a meticulous selection of ingredients. We understand that the foundation of a premium product is built on the quality of its raw materials. Our team spends countless hours sourcing the finest grains for our spirits and the richest beans for our coffee. We seek local suppliers whenever possible to support our communities and reduce our ecological footprint. This dedication to sourcing the best not only enhances the quality of our beverages but also ensures we are consistent with our values of sustainability and excellence.
We prioritize ingredients that are not only superior in quality but also align with our commitment to environmental stewardship. For our spirits, we choose grains that yield the most robust flavors once distilled. For our coffee, we select beans known for their unique profiles, which vary from rich and bold to smooth and subtle, depending on the roast. By carefully choosing these ingredients, we set the stage for a production process that honors our military background, where precision and attention to detail are paramount.
Distilling Spirits: Precision and Care in Every Step
Our distillation process at 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee is rooted in the precision and care we learned in the military. Every step, from fermentation to bottling, is carefully monitored and adjusted to ensure the highest quality. Our veteran distillers apply their disciplined training to control every variable of the distillation process. Temperature, timing, and technical settings are meticulously managed to produce spirits that are both pure and flavorful.
The distillation process begins with fermentation, where our carefully selected grains are transformed into a rich liquid base. This base is then distilled, a step that requires an exacting balance of heat and timing to extract the cleanest and most flavorful spirit. We use traditional methods combined with modern technology to monitor the process, ensuring consistent quality across batches. During distillation, our team makes precise cuts to separate the heart of the spirit, the portion that captures the essence and character we desire, discarding what doesn’t meet our standards. This attention to detail ensures that every bottle from 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee is a testament to quality and craftsmanship.
Roasting Coffee: How We Capture the Unique Mesquite Flavor
At 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee, we have pioneered a distinctive roasting process that encapsulates the bold, smoky essence of South Texas mesquite, setting our coffee apart. Tasked with maintaining this signature flavor, our roasting team carefully monitors the roasting process to achieve a consistent quality that meshes beautifully with the natural profiles of the beans. The mesquite wood, locally sourced and environmentally sustainable, offers a slow-burning quality, ensuring that the beans are roasted evenly and imbued with its subtle, smoky notes without overpowering the coffee’s natural flavors.
This meticulousness extends to selecting the right time and temperature settings to optimize the smoke infusion from the mesquite. Every batch is watched closely, and adjustments are made as required to suit the type of bean and desired flavor profile. The result is a uniquely smooth, rich coffee with a hint of mesquite that pairs perfectly with our spirits for an unforgettable tasting experience.
Quality Control: Ensuring Excellence in Every Soap
Ensuring what we create meets our high standards is a crucial final step in our craft at 22 Salute Spirits & Coffee. We implement a rigorous quality control system that scrutinizes every product, from spirits to coffee, before it reaches you. Each batch undergoes both automated and manual checks to measure various quality parameters like purity, flavor intensity, and consistency. Our dedicated quality control team documents every detail to ensure that any deviations are caught and corrected early in the process.
We solicit feedback directly from our customers to inform ongoing quality improvements. This feedback loop helps us refine our processes and products continuously to better meet your expectations. We are committed to delivering not just great tastes but also reliable quality that you can trust with every sip and every brew.
