There’s probably a good chance you’re reading this review because this is the gin made and promoted by Paul Feig. In all fairness, it’s the reason we decided to review

Review: Plymouth Gin
The world of spirits is strange and convoluted but as I was studying for my WSET certification, one specific spirit stood out as uniquely odd: Plymouth Gin. Sometimes referred to
Continue readingReview: Bacardi Black Rum
We’ve previously reviewed the Bacardi Superior White Rum, to (surprisingly) good results. Not amazing results, but certainly solid and better than we expected. Which begs the question: what happens if
Continue readingReview: Nikka Coffey Gin
I’m a huge fan of the Nikka distillery, and their many whiskeys that I’ve reviewed previously. But that’s the whiskey side of things. I don’t think I’ve ever tried a
Continue readingReview: Classic Club London Extra Dry Gin
We’ve reviewed Classic Club rum before and the verdict was: it’s a bottom shelf brand that tries to produce a spirit good enough to pass muster mainly as a mixer.
Continue readingReview: The Botanist Islay Dry Gin
I’m a huge fan of scotch whisky — specifically, the funky stuff that typically comes out of Islay. But whiskey isn’t the only thing that they distill on the island

While we might not usually think of France as a major whiskey-producing country, there are actually a number of French distilleries that are trying to change that perception. The folks

It’s that time of year again! That awkward gift giving season where you need to find something that’s special and nice enough to be thoughtful and appreciated, but without racking

I’m a fan of a nicely peated scotch. Give me a good Lagavulin any day and I’m a happy man… except for my wallet. My wallet is never happy about

We recently took a look at the standard bourbon from Molly Brown, but they aren’t some one-trick pony from a one horse town. This Denver, Colorado based distillery wanted to

I love the whiskey scene in Denver (and the city of Denver in general). It’s feels very much like my home in Austin, but just… you know… minus 100-degree summers

I’m a sucker for a gimmick spirit. Professionally, that is. (Not personally — in that case, I usually like a nicely understated yet deliciously dark distillate.) But it’s always interesting
