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

Whisky Review: Smokehead High Voltage Whisky
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
Continue readingWhiskey Review: Texas Select Club Grand Reserve
Craft distilling here in Texas is really starting to take off, and I’m enjoying every second of it. New distilleries seem to be sprouting up all over the place —

January is notoriously all about self improvement and resolutions to have a healthier, happier year. Some folks go all-out and do a “Dry January” where they completely cut out alcohol.
Continue readingReview: Monday Zero Alcohol Gin
As we continue exploring the non-alcoholic gin market, we’re heading back to revisit a brand whose zero alcohol whiskey we tried and reviewed last year. In fact, we seem to
Continue readingReview: Dhos Gin Free
To date, our exploration into non-alcoholic spirits has been pretty disappointing. It seems like getting a non-alcoholic version of a traditional spirit is a pretty hard task to achieve. One
Continue readingReview: Ritual Zero Proof Gin Alternative
We’re solidly into Dry January at this point, so we’re taking a break from our usual spirits to take a deep dive into some of the newer, non-alcoholic options on

You’d expect a rum this iconic, long-lived, and well-regarded to come in a fancy bottle. And yet, here we are with Myers’s Rum… which comes primarily in plastic containers with
Continue readingReview: Crystal Head Vodka
We’ve been looking at some celebrity backed spirits over the last few weeks, and one we’re often referenced but never actually reviewed was Dan Aykroyd’s Crystal Head Vodka. I figured

I was recently practicing my blind tasting skills in preparation for my WSET Level 3 exam in spirits, and one of the spirits I could always identify, right down to
Continue readingReview: Bombay Sapphire
I’ve been digging into gins lately, having realized that my review library of them was sadly limited. Gin is a delicious spirit with some interesting characteristics and options, and Bombay

From the look of it, you’d never know that this historic gin was present at one of the most important moments in American spirits history. Tanqueray looks like a sophisticated

Given the choice, I’ll always reach for an anejo tequila before a blanco or reposado. I started in the whiskey world and have a taste for barrel aging notes, so
