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: ★★☆

Today, we're taking a look at a fun one. Chivas 18 is neither boring like its little brother nor overpriced like a lot of those no-goodnick Johnnie Walker products. It's not just a great blend, but a great whisky period. Overall Rating: ★★★
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: ★★★
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: ★★★
I hope I'm not going to bore you with a history lesson, but I think it makes for a good story. Or at least a better story than the one Cooley's trying to sell you with this bottle. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Is there such a thing as a "light" mezcal? Does such a product have any reason to exist? Yes, and yes. The Fidencio Único (now called Sin Humo) isn't an ass-kicker, but it also isn't a lame-also-ran. Overall Rating: ★★☆
Do you want to know a secret? Mellow Corn might be the absolute best spirit bargain out there. It's so surprising and so cheap that you might as well pick up a bottle even if you don't drink whisky. Overall Rating: ★★★
Up next: a weirdo liquor that defies categorization and begs for a reason to exist on the shelf. Much to my surprise, it turns out it ain't all that bad! Overall Rating: ★☆☆
White rums are pretty boring. At least I thought so before I snagged a bottle of this. Proving yourself wrong is rarely this enjoyable. Overall Rating: ★★★
Ever smell something that brings you back to a particular time and place? Perhaps a time and a place you're thankful you haven't experienced in a while? Buckle up for a vivid story!

Sometimes what seems like a novel experiment turns out to be fairly underwhelming. Basically, this is the tequila equivalent of "Cool story, bro." Overall Rating: ★☆☆
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.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
You want to know why rooting for an underdog is hard? Because it's hard for it to win, and disappointment comes easy. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
You may not have ever heard of an agricole rum. No time like the present to learn, and no better bottle than this to learn from. At the end of the day it might not be your thing, but it gets a thumbs-up from me. Overall Rating: ★★☆
A perfect case of evaluating a product on its own merits. On paper, this is utterly stupid. However, I'd rather have a glass of this than just about any other flagship Jim Beam offering. Overall Rating: ★★☆
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: ★★★
A light, otherwise boring whisky might be able to escape the sharpest barbs of criticism if the price was good. However, the distillers want about $45 for this, and at that price this bottle has nowhere to hide. Overall Rating: ⃠
Be warned: sometimes "craft" products in the booze world are about as similarly uninspiring as cable-knit iPhone caddies, overpriced essential oils, or rocks painted like sleeping cats. 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: ★★☆
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: ★★☆
