Spirit Animal is basically the efforts of one writer and one web designer to bring you a resource that's fun and informed. Something that's helpful without being condescending. Something that's fun to browse without being exhausting to read. (All goals easier said than done.)
As a result, we're a bit of a chimera. We like whiskies a whole bunch, but then there are good gins, rums, and tequilas. And yet there's a lot to talk about in terms of cocktails and bar culture.

But above all, there are a lot of great products that are worthy of your time and interest.
