A pretty terrific Cognac. Enough boundaries are being pushed here to make this worth one's while.

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.
Overall Rating: ★★★
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: ★★★
An utterly remarkable whisky, no question. Well, aside from whether you’re willing to pay for the privilege of trying the damn stuff.
Overall Rating: ★★★
There's a lot to be said about knowing where the goalposts are and then kicking the ball through them without much screwing around or having aspirations of anything flashier. The EC Small Batch is this philosophy in liquid form.
Overall Rating: ★★★
Everything’s bigger in Texas! No surprise, then, that the Lone Star State would produce such a delightful ass-kicker.

A solid, distinctive, and well-made "high" rye. However, I think the story of how this product comes to be is something worthy of some attention.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
There's a lot that's very strange about this one from start to finish, although sometimes a little strangeness is just what the doctor ordered. Here the doctor is Indian and the strangeness is peanut.
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: ★★★
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: ★☆☆
The Lasanta is the awkward middle child in the Glenmorangie cask-finished lineup: not pretty like the Nectar D'Or and not bold like the Quinta Ruban, it slumps into a distant third place. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
If you're looking for a "wheater" bourbon to see what the category is all about, I'd say there are better locks to shove your key into. Overall Rating: ★☆☆
