Review: 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

Review: 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

Review: 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.

Review: 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

Whiskey Review: La Piautre Single Malt Whiskey

Whisky Review: Smokehead 43% Single Malt Scotch

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

Whiskey Review: Molly Brown Spirits High Rye Bourbon

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

Whiskey Review: Molly Brown Spirits Bourbon Whiskey

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
