meh and more meh --- low in juniper, not nearly low enough in the honey thing like a classy flavored vodka fine for drinking straight on ice, does not work in any number of mixed drinks ... maybe add lemon or lime or something w no further sugar? no pepperiness, which is a plus for some, also no complexity if the awards and gold thingies are real and not industry-bogus backpatting, it is just dumbfounding imo

Excellent smooth conventional gin, juniper-forward, but with more complexity and richness and range than the similar Tanqueray; nothing imbalanced, as w so many gins, including or especially the modern fancy overly complexified ones. Easy and pleasing to drink straight w an ice cube.30.0 USD per Bottle

Early Times Kentucky Whisky
Blended American Whiskey — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed August 29, 2018 (edited December 4, 2018)always on the lookout for cheap drinkability, I find this the same as a decade ago --- tasty and rough. good nose. yes, absent of depth and richness, yes, but not simple and simpleminded, and not unpleasant. sweet and with a bit of complexity. if it were not rough (and it also looks light in color) it would be something sippable straight, in a pinch. like benchmark, almost, which is a real bourbon with only roughness at the finish as its drawback.
