Review: JAJA Reposado Tequila

When we first tried JAJA Tequila back in 2021, we checked out their blanco version and stopped there. But since their new partnership with Proximo Spirits, things are looking up

Review: JAJA Blanco Tequila

I love a good redemption story, and it sounds like that’s exactly what the folks at JAJA Tequila are working on. They launched their first version of their tequila in

Review: Monday Zero Alcohol Mezcal

The non-alcoholic spirits brand Monday doesn’t make a faux tequila alongside their zero proof whiskey and gin. Instead, they opted to specifically make a dry mezcal. (As a refresher for

Review: Ritual Zero Proof Tequila Alternative

Margaritas are probably the cocktail we make most often in my own house (we do live in Austin, after all) — and while a good margarita is delicious, it can

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie The Lasanta 12 Year

Sherry cask finishing is something that I find a bit hit and miss. I usually get brighter and crisper notes from the sherry compared to something like a port (which

Whisky Review: Glenmorangie The Quinta Ruban 14 Year

I’m a sucker for a good port wine. The rich depth of the flavors make it a great way to cap off an evening — not unlike a good glass

Review: Jägermeister

There’s one liquor bottle that I’ve been avoiding more than any other on this blog — even more than the much feared Malort. Not so much because of the actual

Whiskey Review: The Glenlivet Caribbean Reserve Single Malt Scotch Whisky

Glenlivet is a pretty good middle-of-the-road scotch that won’t break the bank and also won’t scorch your taste buds. It’s efficient, effective, and solid… but not fantastic. So when I

Whisky Review: Ardbeg Wee Beastie Five Year Old Single Malt Scotch Whisky

I was a big fan of the “standard” 10 year aged version of Ardbeg, which was bursting with flavor and expressiveness. But could their five year version somehow be even

Whiskey Review: Jeppson’s Bourbon

Whiskey Review: Copper Still Single Barrel Indiana Straight Rye Whiskey

Last week, we reviewed a straight bourbon whiskey from Copper Still. It had some good levels of rye spice (apple, black pepper, etc) and made for a fine cocktail spirit.
