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

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

Often, the very first “good” gin most will have, and thankfully one most will be unlikely to outgrow if they dig deeper into the category.

A great bottle of scotch that's commonly available. Don't miss the forest for the trees here: it's not a "craft" presentation, but it's stunning nonetheless.

"Who drinks gin straight?" some people ask. Take my word for it: they're out there, and Nolet's is a gin those people are likely going to appreciate.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Creyente is an extremely solid mezcal that should cater to those who like the lighter side of life. You'll know you're still drinking a mezcal, but not every bottle needs to smell and taste like a warehouse fire.

Say, that's a real pretty color you got there. It'd be a real shame if people was to know it was, how should we say, not the genuine article.

A long one for today, guys and gals, but I hope you'll indulge me. Avión is drinkable proof that positioning and branding is more than just fluff, as it can actually come to affect the taste of what ends up in your glass. And not in a wholly bad way.

The regular-'ol bottle of Clynelish is one of my favorite whiskies of all time. Some will understand, but perhaps an equal number will be puzzled. Also, it has a cat on it: always a plus. Overall Rating: ★★★
