Ancient Age Bourbon

Ancient Age Bourbon

There's value here to be sure. But if you're the kind of person who can afford an extra topping on your pizza, Ancient Age is hard to recommend on merit alone.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum

Bacardi Oakheart Spiced Rum

Not as bad as I expected. Still not great, but when we're talking about Bacardi, even a backhanded compliment is a reason to celebrate.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Atlantico Platino Rum

Atlantico Platino Rum

White rums are pretty boring. At least I thought so before I snagged a bottle of this. Proving yourself wrong is rarely this enjoyable.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Gordon's Gin

Gordon's Gin

The perennial white knight of the bottom shelf, Gordon's is a surprisingly fine answer when it comes to gin and tonics or classic martinis.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve

Forty Creek Copper Pot Reserve

Sweet needn't be a bad thing, but you've really got to buckle in for a shockwave of maple if you want to get your tentacles around this one.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Larceny Bourbon

Larceny Bourbon

If you're looking for a "wheater" bourbon to see what the category is all about, I'd say there are better locks to shove your key into.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Bank Note Blended Scotch

Bank Note Blended Scotch

We're all about praising value here at Spirit Animal, so here's one of the most praiseworthy blended scotches extant. The price here is almost absurdly low for the quality of the bottle.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Appleton Estate White Rum

Appleton Estate White Rum

Well, it isn't bad, but it's certainly one of the most boring rums I've had. I'd call it vanilla, but that would give readers the false hope of it tasting like something.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆
