Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

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

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.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Look: I couldn’t not try it. If you’ve ever pined for a spirit that tastes like condiments, this is for you.

Speyburn 10 Single Malt Scotch

Speyburn 10 Single Malt Scotch

A “budget” single malt scotch with an age statement? Sure! It’s suspiciously cheap, but don’t let that deter you from a try.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Edinburgh Seaside Gin

Edinburgh Seaside Gin

Scurvy grass? Bladderwack? It’s hard to justify oddball botanicals and (a higher price) in this also-ran kind of gin.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Rock Oyster Blended Scotch

Rock Oyster Blended Scotch

A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!
Overall Rating: ★★★

 

Clynelish 14

Clynelish 14

The regular-'ol bottle of Clynelish is one of my favorite whiskies of all time. Some will understand, but perhaps an equal number will be puzzled. Also, it has a cat on it: always a plus. Overall Rating: ★★★

St. George All Purpose Vodka

St. George All Purpose Vodka

St. George shouldn't be able to do so many things well, but one of their standout products is this affordably priced and superbly crafted vodka. If you typically use vodka in lighter, fruitier drinks, you need a bottle of this.  Overall Rating: ★★★

Oban Distiller's Edition

Oban Distiller's Edition

Sometimes we buy an expensive bottle of scotch almost knowing that it can't live up to our expectations for the price point. But when it does, boy is it a treat.  Overall Rating: ★★☆

Lagavulin 16

Lagavulin 16

Though the joke might be wearing thin, Ron Swanson most definitely isn't wrong on this one. It's a whisky that manages to be refined in spite of how ubiquitous it is in the world.
