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: ★★☆
I’ve had better, but I’ve certainly had worse. Compelling if you can find it cheap!

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

We so often ask ourselves whether whiskey is worth the mony mony or whether it’s dead on arrival. Rebel Yell might not leave you dancing with yourself, but the value’s certainly hot in the city.

The claim is that all vodka tastes the same. What if I told you that a lot of it is also marketed the same way?

We've talked about aged rums, and we've talked about agricole rums. Here's one that neatly splits the difference between the two styles.

Scurvy grass? Bladderwack? It’s hard to justify oddball botanicals and (a higher price) in this also-ran kind of gin.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
An affordable and quality-made rum that doesn't need to bludgeon you with sugar to get its point across. A nice change!
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Once again, here we have a gin for "gin people." If you’re willing to take the ride, it will be exciting. Now, if you don’t normally drink gin straight…
Overall Rating: ★★☆
A totally rock-solid cognac and representative of the category. So much so, in fact, that it becomes hard to find something novel about this bottle to talk about.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Redemption is fine. Not fine as in “a fine spirit,” but “fine” in the sense of being perfectly adequate on all levels without ever managing to astound.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
A proper British gin that might be one of my favorites for a Martini. Just don’t get your nose too far into the glass.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
Great in a margarita, and offers decent enough value, but it’s one of those tequilas that you won’t be in a rush to enjoy straight.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Great name. I mean, a truly great name. The whiskey itself? …Eh.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
So, if you're convinced you can pretty much close your eyes and imagine what a tequila tastes like, have I got a curve ball for you.
Overall Rating: ★★☆
A blend of malt whiskies that becomes much more than the sum of its parts. Distinctive and delicious!
Overall Rating: ★★★
A delightfully bold treat with a bonanza of Mediterranean flavors. An absolute must-try if you're feeling adventurous.
Overall Rating: ★★★
There's value here to be sure. But if you're the kind of person who can afford an extra topping on your pizza, Ancient Age is hard to recommend on merit alone.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆
Ugh. Sometimes you think you have enough information to figure a product out, and then the rug gets pulled out from under you.

Together, let's learn about what counts as a "distillation." No better place to start than with a vodka claiming to be distilled 34 times.
