Brendan, in Canada we have nothing close to it. Aguardiente, especially the one made in Galicia is the strongest drink I have ever had. Tequila is water compared to this. In Latin America, they too make aguardiente, but not like we do in Spain. Colombian and Cuban friends have come over, tried aguardiente and thought it to be the strongest drink they have had. Try it burnt (queimada) and with sugar. hahahahaha!! I suggest that you not drink too much if you have not tried aguardiente in its non-cooked state. hahahahaha!!

It not only purifies your soul and mind but rises your passion! What else could I ever want from a drink. I'll make sure I try it next time I'm in Spain. Wow, what a drink!

The resulting liquid is supposed to be a remedy for the common cold. In Goa, India, the old folk burn cashew feni (caju) in a saucer with a bit of sugar and some cloves and peppercorns.
