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.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Citadelle Gin

Citadelle Gin

It’s been some time since we did a review, let alone a gin. No time like the present, and today we have an interesting one.

Glenmorangie X Scotch

Glenmorangie X Scotch

Remember how Lucy would always yank the football away from Charlie Brown before he kicked it? The Glenmorangie X is exactly that in liquid form.

Smith and Cross Jamaican Rum

Smith and Cross Jamaican Rum

Yowza. Like, super fucking yowza. Be warned: maybe this offers up TOO much flavor.

Beluga Vodka

Beluga Vodka

The claim is that all vodka tastes the same. What if I told you that a lot of it is also marketed the same way?

Rhum Barbancourt 8

Rhum Barbancourt 8

We've talked about aged rums, and we've talked about agricole rums. Here's one that neatly splits the difference between the two styles.

Purity Vodka

Purity Vodka

Together, let's learn about what counts as a "distillation." No better place to start than with a vodka claiming to be distilled 34 times.

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka

Zubrowka Bison Grass Vodka

Ass, gas, or grass? On the basis of what's in the bottle, Zubrowka makes a really good case for joining team grass.  
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Espolón Blanco Tequila

Espolón Blanco Tequila

A "meh" product from a distillery that does pretty good work. Here, Espolon tries to gun for two flavor profiles at once and I don't think they pull it off.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Luksusowa Vodka

Luksusowa Vodka

A challenging vodka to spell and pronounce, and an equally challenging vodka to enjoy an entire glass of. A good study in how temperature can drastically change the taste and character of a spirit. 
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: ★★☆
