Don Fulano Reposado Tequila

Don Fulano Reposado Tequila

You’re a very nice tequila, Don Fulano, and I know you’re going to find someone out there who loves you with their whole heart. It’s not you, it’s me.

Cognac Park "Carte Blanche"

Cognac Park "Carte Blanche"

We’ve been writing about a lot of flawed products lately. Let’s cover one I love.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Hennessy VS Cognac

Hennessy VS Cognac

A 'Yac that isn't Yuck and won't make you Yack, but yoked to a $50 price point? Yeesh! Personally, I yearn for other young 'Yacs, which yield better results and fewer yawns.

Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum

Mount Gay Black Barrel Rum

An affordable and quality-made rum that doesn't need to bludgeon you with sugar to get its point across. A nice change!
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Oak Cross

Oak Cross

A direct hit when it comes to a company telling you what they want to do, then going out and doing exactly that. If you've never heard of Compass Box, start here.

Centenario Plata Tequila

Centenario Plata Tequila

Sometimes what seems like a novel experiment turns out to be fairly underwhelming. Basically, this is the tequila equivalent of "Cool story, bro."   Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Rhum Clement VSOP

Rhum Clement VSOP

You may not have ever heard of an agricole rum. No time like the present to learn, and no better bottle than this to learn from. At the end of the day it might not be your thing, but it gets a thumbs-up from me.  Overall Rating: ★★☆
