Something different for vodka drinkers… a category of people who don’t want different things. What could go wrong?

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

This whiskey is for someone, though I don’t know who.

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!
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: ★★★
A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.

Cat's out of the bag, reader: you might have noticed that this is a “review” site. And in the context of a “review” site, talking about a bottle like Whaler's is thorny.

A “supermarket” gin if there ever was one, true. But it’s also true that there might not be any better example of the London Dry gin style.

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

Being basic should be easy as we head into the season of pumpkin spice everything, but Captain Morgan turns it into challenging work.

About as close as a gin distillery can get to the phrase “reinventing the wheel.” Not bad, but I’m not sold on the results of the extra labor (or price).

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

Another Armenian brandy today. Buckle up for a coke-versus-pepsi comparison I think is rather apt!
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
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: ★★☆
Great name. I mean, a truly great name. The whiskey itself? …Eh.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Well, it's certainly a pretty package, and if we weren't spoiled for choice in the rum category, I'd probably pick it up more often.

Sometimes even a huge, faceless conglomerate can get something right. If you're fine with drinking the scotch equivalent of an Adele song, there's enough going on with the Glenfiddich 18 to warrant a look. Overall Rating: ★★☆
