Macallan 12 Scotch

Macallan 12 Scotch

Today, let’s talk about what I think might be the most overrated whisky on the planet Earth.

Knob Creek 12 Bourbon

Knob Creek 12 Bourbon

I thought the problem with its younger brother was too much wood. It turns out, apparently, that the solution was even more wood.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

I thought I could handle it, I really did. In this review, I climb back on an old horse older and wiser only to be thrown off once again.

NOY 10 Armenian Brandy

NOY 10 Armenian Brandy

Another Armenian brandy today. Buckle up for a coke-versus-pepsi comparison I think is rather apt!
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey

Stranahan's Colorado Whiskey

It ain't bourbon or scotch, that's for sure. This is a very good thing in my book, and I hope it holds true for you as well.

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.
Overall Rating: ★★☆ 

Courvoisier VSOP Cognac

Courvoisier VSOP Cognac

Is it downright awful? No. That said, it's hard to reward what I feel is the taste of resting on centuries-old laurels.

Tres Generaciones Añejo Tequila

Tres Generaciones Añejo Tequila

Tres Generaciones is wisely positioned to be a little bit cheaper than Patron or Don Julio. What makes it incredibly appealing is that I think it's just as good, if not better than what the ultra-premium names have to offer. Overall Rating: ★★☆

El Dorado 15 Rum

El Dorado 15 Rum

Supposing that you're a brown liquor drinker with a bit of a sweet tooth, I don't think you're going to find too many rums that are flat-out better than this. And the cost? Well, sometimes life is full of unexpected surprises. Overall Rating: ★★★
