Always trying to stay in good spirits :) I’m searching for the ideal bottles of each spirit for my home bar. This is my opinion on what’s available in Ontario.

  • Jim Beam Original

    Unrefined. Raw corn/oak/straw and ethanol. It's got decent sweetness. It's not overly ruff. It just tastes like it wasn't aged long enough. $28 in Ontario.

    Deep in-your-face smoke that's rounded off with a hint of fresh vegetal agave flavour and sweetness. Good but heavy on the smoke for my taste. Probably comparable, maybe a tad sweeter than Creyente. $73 in Ontario.

    Rich dark fruit sherry sweetness with a kick from the ABV and a hint of rye/sherried oak spice. The spice settles significantly with water, which is not a requirement, but is strongly recommended. It’s great but even with water there’s more spice than I’d ideally prefer. $100 in Ontario.

    Smooth, with soft sweet agave and dry lime. More sweetness than Patron but not cloying or overpowering like some blancos. Just like the reposado it's a good option but not my first choice. $80 in Ontario.

    Bright, soft juniper and citrus. Like Hendricks without the cucumber, and a stronger burn in comparison despite having the same ABV. $30 in Ontario.

    Smooth but very light almost watery. Caramel sweetness and soft spice. Lacking character. Even Black Label is worlds above. $30 in Ontario.

    Bright bold citrus and juniper smell but pungent, almost chemical juniper/floral taste. I can see the appeal for some but at the same time it reminds me a bit of hand sanitizer. Tonic lightens it up but the same flavour profile prevails. A disappointment compared to standard Tanqueray. $50 in Ontario.

    Velvety, oily, deep citrus and juniper. Muted flavour compared to Beefeater and Tanqueray. Makes a decent, smooth but heavy, overly floral G&T, in taste and smell. $29 in Ontario.
