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

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

Lest anyone think I’m an absolute fanboy for anything Jack Daniel’s, here’s one I don’t love.

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

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.

I’m all for the concept of voting with dollars, and buying Khor seems like well-intentioned activism. I only wish I liked the vodka better!

If you’re gunning for a great tequila, I’d say to set your sights higher. Still, this isn’t bad. Inexplicably, it isn’t bad.

Go ahead and cue up Bob Seger’s “Still the Same” for this review. Basil Hayden is usually what most consider their first “good” bourbon, though I’m willing to bet you’ll outgrow it, if you haven’t already.

An Austrian Vodka masquerading as a Russian product? Boy, you're just full of surprises, aren't you, NEFT?

I’m not going to say that you can safely ignore anything calling itself a “luxury vodka,” and it’s not like people won’t enjoy this, but in a saturated market being good enough isn’t enough.

Now I know about the bird. I still don't know if the bird is the word.

About as close as a gin distillery can get to the phrase “reinventing the wheel.” Not bad, but I’m not sold on the results of the extra labor (or price).

It’s sophisticated, it’s doing something new, and it’s Japanese. But at easily twice the price of a “premium” gin, it doesn’t rise to the high standards it sets for itself.

If it were cheaper, it would be mostly fine. But it isn’t, and I feel silly paying so much for a study in restraint.

A usually-boring scotch label tries out an exciting concept for a brand extension. Surprise! It’s still boring.

I’ve had better, but I’ve certainly had worse. Compelling if you can find it cheap!

Another Armenian brandy today. Buckle up for a coke-versus-pepsi comparison I think is rather apt!

The claim is that all vodka tastes the same. What if I told you that a lot of it is also marketed the same way?

Redemption is fine. Not fine as in “a fine spirit,” but “fine” in the sense of being perfectly adequate on all levels without ever managing to astound.

Great in a margarita, and offers decent enough value, but it’s one of those tequilas that you won’t be in a rush to enjoy straight.
