Bunnahabhain 12

Bunnahabhain 12

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.

I certainly don’t want to be an asshole when it comes to appraising a small business trying to do something new. As you’ll see in this review, squaring that circle can be a real challenge.

Chivas Regal Mizunara

Chivas Regal Mizunara

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

De Luze VSOP Cognac

De Luze VSOP Cognac

There's a lot of fun, interesting cognac out there I've never heard of. Here's another to show that those who veer from the beaten path are often rewarded for their curiosity.

Balvenie Doublewood

Balvenie Doublewood

The Doublewood is one of the few single malt scotch whiskies I actually dislike. Chalk it up to a mix of personal taste and overexposure I'll explain in more detail.

Kraken Black Spiced Rum

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.
