Bunnahabhain 12

Bunnahabhain 12

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.

Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select

Jack Daniel's Sinatra Select

Honestly, it’s the best to come out of the distillery, and has a price tag to match. It’s hard to live up to that hype, but in fairness, can anything?

We’ve been writing about a lot of flawed products lately. Let’s cover one I love.

Buchanan's Deluxe 12 year Blended Scotch

Buchanan's Deluxe 12 year Blended Scotch

Did you want peat? Well, we’re giving it to you anyway! It results in a Jekyll and Hyde kind of thing going on here.

Haku Vodka

Haku Vodka

The Japanese approach to vodka has created a very good product. I wonder, however: is it possible to create a truly great product?

This whiskey is for someone, though I don’t know who.

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky

Crown Royal Canadian Whisky

Yes, it’s everywhere. Yes, Canadian Whisky is a maligned category. And yet, even the experienced whisky lover might be surprised by how Crown Royal avails itself.

Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon

Benchmark Single Barrel Bourbon

Not everything needs to be a showstopper. For the clarity of the taste experience on offer here, and at the price, I dig the Benchmark Single Barrel.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Whicked Pickle Whiskey

Look: I couldn’t not try it. If you’ve ever pined for a spirit that tastes like condiments, this is for you.

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

Ilegal Mezcal Reposado

A reposado mezcal? They’re out there! On the basis of this bottle, I say there should be more. Not everyone agrees!

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: ★★☆

Khor Ukrainian Vodka

Khor Ukrainian Vodka

I’m all for the concept of voting with dollars, and buying Khor seems like well-intentioned activism. I only wish I liked the vodka better!
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Glenmorangie Signet

Glenmorangie Signet

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: ★★★

St. George Baller Single Malt Whiskey

St. George Baller Single Malt Whiskey

A review perhaps too long in coming. This American homage to a Japanese whisky is a must-try flavor bomb.
Overall Rating: ★★★

Whaler's Dark Rum

Whaler's Dark Rum

Cat's out of the bag, reader: you might have noticed that this is a “review” site. And in the context of a “review” site, talking about a bottle like Whaler's is thorny.
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Abasolo Whisky

Abasolo Whisky

You know what? It's been a while since we talked about something I think is fun. And Abasolo does “Fun” in spades.
