Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

A reposado mezcal? They’re out there! On the basis of this bottle, I say there should be more. Not everyone agrees!

Khor Ukrainian Vodka

Khor Ukrainian Vodka

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!

Abasolo Whisky

Abasolo Whisky

You know what? It's been a while since we talked about something I think is fun. And Abasolo does “Fun” in spades.

Hijos de Villa Reposado Tequila

Hijos de Villa Reposado Tequila

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.

Nikka Coffey Gin

Nikka Coffey Gin

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.

Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila

Siete Leguas Añejo Tequila

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.

Hornitos Reposado

Hornitos Reposado

The reposado from Hornitos isn't a bad product, per se, but it's an underwhelming mixer I think can be partially explained by its production process.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆
