On the nose: I didn’t get much, maybe a faint citrus or cherry flavor? On the palate: Strong caramelized apple flavor with a sprinkling of black cherry on top Finish: I got somewhat of a faint but sweet finish, with themes of cinnamon and chocolate. Overall: while the scent and finish are nothing to write home about, the flavor is awesome, and is perfect for the winter holiday times!!

Usually my go-to for mixers, but I decided to try some on its own for fun. On the nose: woody aromas with faint, FAINT hints honey, vanilla, pecan, and possibly banana? On the palate: Black pepper was very front-heavy, with honey and caramel occupying the back-end, though it’s a bit too faint for my fancy. Finish: I got hints of salt. Not bad, but not distinct or profound enough for me. Overall: a fairly smooth bourbon that I’d stick with mostly as a cocktail bourbon. I bet this is pretty good in a casual Old Fashioned, but if you’re looking for options to sip on, you’re probably better off looking elsewhere.

On the nose, it’s heavy in vanilla bean and crème brûlée. On the palate, it’s a rather bread-like flavor with hints of sweet vanilla and possibly subtle raisin? The finish is mostly vanilla, overall making this a rather dessert like bourbon. Out of the traditional mixing bourbons I use or find in bars, this one is close to being my favorite!

A tequila in association with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson! I actually really liked this one, as it’s probably one of the better Tequilas I’ve had. It’s very earthy, with notes of fruits and veggies! Lots of citrus, especially lime, flavors with a hint of bell pepper. Not a very smooth tequila, but there’s lots of variation and range of flavor to make up for that. I got a hint mint on the finish. Overall, I CAN recommend! Give this one a try if you’re looking for a flavorful Blanco!

Hornitos Plata Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed December 23, 2022 (edited December 24, 2022)A decent tequila I usually use for mixing, but I had some on its own and it’s really not bad! I tasted notes of traditional agave, like that honey flavor, with hints of apple and possibly citrus to it It’s a fairly smooth finish. Pretty enjoyable if you want to avoid that burn I’d buy it again. I don’t know if I’d get specifically as a sipping tequila, but if I was in a pinch, and I didn’t have many options, I Definitely would not go wrong with this! -

Bourbon — New York, USA
Reviewed December 23, 2022 (edited December 24, 2022)This was my first good Bourbon that I received as a gift for my birthday! I definitely taste notes of toffee and oak, with a slight chocolate finish. Very smooth! It’ll always have a place in my collection! -
Widow Jane 10 Year Straight Bourbon
Bourbon — USA
Reviewed December 23, 2022 (edited December 24, 2022)I got strong notes of vanilla, and a bit of citrus on the finish, lending itself to an almost Creamsicle flavor. Was a little less smooth than what I was hoping for, but I overall enjoyed this, especially because it didn’t feel to heavy, either.
