A good whisky, full stop. However, it took me a good eighteen years to fully appreciate it.

I suppose if we were ever going to do a viral, clickbait-like “drink this, not that” article, I’d probably tell the world to drink this over Macallan 12, full stop.

A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Look, I get it: finding new niches for a product and staying competitive is hard. More than anything I want to reward trying something new. But is aging shit in bourbon barrels literally the only thing distillers feel they can try?

A usually-boring scotch label tries out an exciting concept for a brand extension. Surprise! It’s still boring.

Another Armenian brandy today. Buckle up for a coke-versus-pepsi comparison I think is rather apt!
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
An interesting bottle in that it comes to us with something of a (*gasp*)... storied reputation. And yet, I do think it's decently good stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
We toss the word complexity around a bit without ever really going into it. Now's as good a time as any to see what all the fuss is about!

They could have called it anything else, literally anything, and been better for it. The whiskey itself is surprisingly not bad, and a huge step up from Bushmills' white label.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Armenian Brandy has a pretty rich and storied history. My Armenian friends might be wrong when it comes to System of a Down, but they're certainly not messing around with the Ararat Akhtamar 10. Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's a lot about the Bowmore 15 "Darkest" that's fairly criticized for being inauthentic. However, I think it tastes great, so I'm conveniently looking the other way. Overall Rating: ★★☆
