Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

Knappogue Castle 14 Irish Whiskey

A little late for St. Patrick’s Day, but any time of year is a great time for this underappreciated Irish Whiskey.

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.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

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: ★★☆

Basil Hayden Bourbon

Basil Hayden Bourbon

Go ahead and cue up Bob Seger’s “Still the Same” for this review. Basil Hayden is usually what most consider their first “good” bourbon, though I’m willing to bet you’ll outgrow it, if you haven’t already.
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Connemara 12 Peated Irish Whiskey

Connemara 12 Peated Irish Whiskey

The Connemara 12 is just about one of the only peated Irish whiskeys available on the market. If you want to know why there aren’t more, you could blow $55 and take a sip of this stuff.

Now I know about the bird. I still don't know if the bird is the word.

Beluga Vodka

Beluga Vodka

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?
Overall Rating: ★☆☆

Cazadores Reposado Tequila

Cazadores Reposado Tequila

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: ★☆☆


Riazul Tequila Anejo

Riazul Tequila Anejo

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.

Plantation "Stiggin's Fancy" Pineapple Rum

Plantation "Stiggin's Fancy" Pineapple Rum

Pineapple rum used to be a thing. Then it waned in popularity. Now it's back thanks to Plantation and author David Wondrich, who are doing the lord's work.  Overall Rating: ★★★
