Review: Capitan Bucanero Viejo Anejo Rum

I recently gave myself a fun challenge when heading into the liquor store: to find a rum I’d never heard of before, for less than $20. Turns out, this bottle

Whiskey Review: Laphroaig Quarter Cask

I absolutely loved the “standard edition” Laphroaig 10 Year single malt scotch whisky. It was everything I ever wanted in an Islay scotch — like stepping into a stone cottage

Whiskey Review: Glenfiddich 15 Year Solera Scotch Whisky

I love that distilleries are experimenting with their maturation processes, and Scottish spirits have been leading the charge in that area. They were among the first to start “cask finishing”

Whiskey Review: Rabbit Hole Dareringer PX Sherry Finished Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

The process of barrel finishing a whiskey has become a fairly common and well-regarded method of elevating an already solid spirit into something exceptional. As we’ve discovered in previous reviews,

How To Quickly Choose The Right Whiskey To Buy

I’ve seen it time and again, and experienced it myself: you head into the liquor store, determined to grab a “good” bottle of whiskey, but then as soon as the

Review: Hornitos Black Barrel Tequila

Usually, in the world of tequila, anejo is about as aged as it gets. It usually spends a little over a year aging in a barrel, but there’s actually no

Whiskey Review: Rabbit Hole Boxergrail Kentucky Straight Rye Whiskey

I’ve been hearing a lot of good things about Rabbit Hole. A friend who recently went on their distillery tour in Kentucky said it was the best experience he’s ever

Review: Captain Morgan Private Stock

It has been a few years since I’ve tried Captain Morgan’s Spiced Rum… and while I don’t necessarily have fond memories, I can’t say I remember hating it either. And

Review: Diplomatico Mantuano Rum

We recently tried, and were blown away by, Diplomatico’s Reserva Exclusiva rum. It earned a five star rating from us (and that’s out of five stars, for the record). But

Review: Diplomatico Rum Reserva Exclusiva

I’ve had French rum, Cuban rum, Jamaican rum, American rum… if there’s a country that produces rum, I’ve probably tried it. But, until today, there was one notable exception: Venezuela.

Review: Tequila 512 Anejo

We previously reviewed the blanco version of Tequila 512’s eponymous product and discovered that it was a well made, approachable tequila. We only had one minor quibble: it seemed a

Whiskey Review: Lockwood Straight Rye Whiskey

We just reviewed the straight bourbon whiskey from Lockwood Distilling Co, and found it was a pretty good offering from a brand new distillery. But why stop there? They also
