Starward is doing great things, but don’t start here. If this is a celebration, it’s more whimper than bang.

Sure, it’s a misfit of a scotch whisky, but it’s one I think everybody should try, and many will fall in love with it.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Did you want peat? Well, we’re giving it to you anyway! It results in a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing going on here.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
An utterly remarkable whisky, no question. Well, aside from whether you’re willing to pay for the privilege of trying the damn stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Here's my pitch when it comes to choosing from the Old Forester variants: do you want more, or do you want better? The 1910 shoots for “better,” and for that I am a big fan.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Underpromise, overdeliver. It's an old axiom any business owner would do well to internalize, and Arshak II is a shining example of how this works in a niche category of spirits.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Perhaps the first true “cask strength” bourbon I’ve written about here, and certainly one worthy of mentioning to adventurous drinkers.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
You have a right to be skeptical. The betting man would put George Clooney's side project tequila down as a flop. Surprisingly, this is quite good stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
You put yourself on an island when you pick your favorites, but so be it: I think the Highland Park 18 is one of the most exceptional scotches I've had the pleasure of consuming. Overall Rating: ★★★
Nobody really expects anything from this spartan-looking bottle. Until they take a sip and have to hunt around on the floor to see where their jaw went. A favorite of mine and a future favorite of yours. Overall Rating: ★★★
