Luksusowa Vodka

Luksusowa Vodka

A challenging vodka to spell and pronounce, and an equally challenging vodka to enjoy an entire glass of. A good study in how temperature can drastically change the taste and character of a spirit. 
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Absolut Oak

Absolut Oak

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: ★☆☆

Appleton Estate White Rum

Appleton Estate White Rum

Well, it isn't bad, but it's certainly one of the most boring rums I've had. I'd call it vanilla, but that would give readers the false hope of it tasting like something.  Overall Rating: ★☆☆

E&J XO Brandy

E&J XO Brandy

Yes, it's a $14 brandy. By all accounts it should be terrible, but either I'm a broken person or there's a lot of value and comfort here. 
Overall Rating: ★★☆

Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve

Glenlivet 15 French Oak Reserve

A lot of people (unfairly) pass over the entire Glenlivet range figuring the distillery is too big to be good. Those people would be missing out on the 15.
