A good whisky, full stop. However, it took me a good eighteen years to fully appreciate it.

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.

It’s “fancy,” certainly, but I’m always impressed when upmarket vodkas back up an elevated price with elevated substance. This is a bottle worth purchasing.

A surprising example of when hate turns to love in the spirits world. Not everything makes a good first impression, but I’m as pleased as punch I stuck with it.

Quite honestly, a product in search of a reason to exist. If there’s a niche it fills, I’m not savvy enough to detect it.

This one snuck up on me. You guys know I'm a sucker for a focused, well-considered flavor profile, and this is a direct hit. Value-minded drinkers may find a new favorite.

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.

It's close to a bourbon, but not quite: it's a wheat whiskey. There aren't many of them, and if Bernheim is representative of the category, it's a shame there aren't more. Overall Rating: ★★☆
