  • Bushmills Original

    Blended — Ireland

    Reviewed June 22, 2022

    Other than a hint of pome fruit, cereal, and some baking spice, it’s rather thin. Not a lot going on. Would not recommend neat, but it worked very nicely in my Tipperary cocktail.

  • Ezra Brooks 99 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon

    Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

    This bourbon has a little bit of everything but not a lot of anything. Decent sweet vanilla and caramel flavors along with the oak flavors as well, but nothing exciting. It won’t stand up to Makers, Woodford, or Knob Creek, but it’s much more affordable. Works well for a higher proof mixer or everyday sipper like Evan Williams Bottled in Bond.

  • Teremana Tequila Blanco

    Super grassy on the nose. With the cooked agave flavor there are some more subtle supporting herbal flavors. Not too sweet or too much ethanol burn. It almost has an astringent finish. This works great neat or in a Paloma. Found on sale and I am very pleased.

    A wonderful balance of sweet honey and woody oak. This could turn me into a Scotch person!

    I normally prefer a London dry, but I really like this gin. It has a lot of heat to it, but also a lot of juniper and other botanicals that make it quite interesting. I’m looking forward to trying it mixed with tonic and as a base for a number of cocktails.

  • Corazón Reposado Tequila

    Purchased on sale on Cinco de Mayo because it was the cheapest 100% agave reposado. Neat, it is definitely on the thin and uninteresting side of things, though the cooked agave flavor is there with a bit of white pepper and vanilla. I did not buy it for neat drinking, though, and it made margaritas for a party of five beautifully. Would buy again when entertaining, though not for sipping by myself.

    On the better end of the cheap vodkas. I prefer it to Absolut, Skyy, or Smirnoff. Still not going to drink it straight very often, but nice to have with bloody mary’s, salty dogs, Moscow mules, or White Russians. Burn is not overwhelming, and does have a touch of oily flavor to it.

    About as cheap a bottle as you can get with 100% agave. Some grassy/earthy agave flavor and a bunch of white pepper. Not as much burn as I was expecting. Not great for sipping but good to have around for margaritas and Palomas.

    Drinking the 44% American version, but it still has plenty of alcohol bite and plenty of the juniper and lemonpeel flavors. Not as interesting to sip neat as Hendricks, but still perfectly drinkable. My wife and I like our gins juniper-forward, and this hits above its weight in value. This may just be our new house gin.

    It’s got more oak than 101, but still favors vanilla and baking spice. Not bad as a mixer, but a bit thin for neat. For the money, probably better off with Wild Turkey 101 or Evan Williams black label.
