Basil Hayden Bourbon

Basil Hayden Bourbon

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.

Doctor Bird Jamaican Rum

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

Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Green Spot Irish Whiskey

Not the most expensive Irish, nor the fanciest, but it’s permanently on my mind when it comes to gifting for several good reasons.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Springbank 12 Scotch Whisky

Springbank 12 Scotch Whisky

I’d argue it’s a great whisky, but Springbank 12 is a study in how great whiskies can sometimes be challenging or outright baffling if you don’t know what you’re getting into. I hope you decide to take the plunge!

Jameson Black Barrel

Jameson Black Barrel

A little pricier than it once was, but it’s still one of the best options a person can consider when it comes to an unquestionably “good” Irish whiskey.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Michter's American Rye

Michter's American Rye

Life is hard enough as it is. So when a good thing comes along, why talk yourself out of enjoying it to the fullest?

John Barr Blended Scotch

John Barr Blended Scotch

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

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.
