One of the best things about having a great local craft distillery is that they occasionally put out a truly interesting and quirky bottle of booze. We’ve reviewed several different

I’m a bit of a sucker for a good French Caribbean rum, but I’m quickly running out of brands to try that are locally imported here in the United States.

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
Continue readingWhiskey 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

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

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
Continue readingReview: Classic Club Silver Rum
Over the past few months, we’ve reviewed some really excellent, mid- to high-priced rums, but there’s another end of the spectrum that we haven’t investigated yet: cheap, presumably terrible rums.

I was recently browsing the rum aisle looking for Meyers’s Rum, and did a full-on double take when I finally found it. Because right next to it on the shelf

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
