A little late for St. Patrick’s Day, but any time of year is a great time for this underappreciated Irish Whiskey.

We’ve been writing about a lot of flawed products lately. Let’s cover one I love.
Overall Rating: ★★★
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.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's a lot to be said about knowing where the goalposts are and then kicking the ball through them without much screwing around or having aspirations of anything flashier. The EC Small Batch is this philosophy in liquid form.
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: ★★☆
It’s always a challenge to get people to pay big bucks for a Scotch without an age statement, and if you do it wrong people will remember. Here’s a good case study of when things go right.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Not only does this stuff flat-out suck, it absolutely strains the limits of credulity to call itself Japanese whisky for reasons I can’t wait to let you in on.

We so often ask ourselves whether whiskey is worth the mony mony or whether it’s dead on arrival. Rebel Yell might not leave you dancing with yourself, but the value’s certainly hot in the city.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
A totally rock-solid cognac and representative of the category. So much so, in fact, that it becomes hard to find something novel about this bottle to talk about.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's value here to be sure. But if you're the kind of person who can afford an extra topping on your pizza, Ancient Age is hard to recommend on merit alone.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
With the Blender's Batch series, liquor giant Diageo goes a little bit "indie."
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Is it downright awful? No. That said, it's hard to reward what I feel is the taste of resting on centuries-old laurels.

"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.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Support your smaller producer with this lesser-known but fully-capable cognac. The Hardy VS is a solidly crafted spirit that would serve as a great entry point for the cognac clueless. Overall Rating: ★★☆
