Smoke Lab Aniseed Vodka

Smoke Lab Aniseed Vodka

Something different for vodka drinkers… a category of people who don’t want different things. What could go wrong?

Tapatio Anejo Tequila

Tapatio Anejo Tequila

“Don’t judge a book by its cover,” goes the old saying. Apparently it’s true with Tequila as well!

Bowmore 12 Scotch Whisky

Bowmore 12 Scotch Whisky

A good whisky, full stop. However, it took me a good eighteen years to fully appreciate it.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Ferrand 10 Generations Cognac

Ferrand 10 Generations Cognac

A pretty terrific Cognac. Enough boundaries are being pushed here to make this worth one's while.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Glendronach 12 Scotch Whisky

Glendronach 12 Scotch Whisky

I suppose if we were ever going to do a viral, clickbait-like “drink this, not that” article, I’d probably tell the world to drink this over Macallan 12, full stop.

Starward Vitalis Australian Whisky

Starward Vitalis Australian Whisky

Starward is doing great things, but don’t start here. If this is a celebration, it’s more whimper than bang.

Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

A little late for St. Patrick’s Day, but any time of year is a great time for this underappreciated Irish Whiskey.

Pyrat Rum

Pyrat Rum

Yarr! If you’re looking for treasure, be advised that Pyrat defintely does not way, hey, blow the man down.

If you’re known by the company you keep, OH BOY do I have a story for you.

Bunnahabhain 12

Bunnahabhain 12

Sure, it’s a misfit of a scotch whisky, but it’s one I think everybody should try, and many will fall in love with it.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select

Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select

Honestly, it’s the best to come out of the distillery, and has a price tag to match. It’s hard to live up to that hype, but in fairness, can anything?

Cognac Park "Carte Blanche"

Cognac Park "Carte Blanche"

We’ve been writing about a lot of flawed products lately. Let’s cover one I love.

Buchanan's Deluxe 12 year Blended Scotch

Buchanan's Deluxe 12 year Blended Scotch

Did you want peat? Well, we’re giving it to you anyway! It results in a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing going on here.

Haku Vodka

Haku Vodka

The Japanese approach to vodka has created a very good product. I wonder, however: is it possible to create a truly great product?

This whiskey is for someone, though I don’t know who.

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky

Yes, it’s everywhere. Yes, Canadian Whisky is a maligned category. And yet, even the experienced whisky lover might be surprised by how Crown Royal avails itself.

Macallan 12 Scotch

Macallan 12 Scotch

Today, let’s talk about what I think might be the most overrated whisky on the planet Earth.

Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon

Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon

Not everything needs to be a showstopper. For the clarity of the taste experience on offer here, and at the price, I dig the Benchmark Single Barrel.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Look: I couldn’t not try it. If you’ve ever pined for a spirit that tastes like condiments, this is for you.
