Star of Bombay London Dry Gin
London Dry Gin — England
Reviewed October 17, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Bolder, more citrus, more pungent juniper, less oily than standard Bombay. A little too pungent for my taste, although not as astringent as Tanqueray no. 10. $50 in Ontario.50.0 CAD per Bottle -
Smooth (very slightly oily), bright and fresh. Well balanced juniper, deep floral rose, tea and citrus. As vibrant in flavour as it's golden yellow colour, with enough depth to make it easy to drink on it's own. Similar to Bulldog but heavier on the rose. Adds rose petal softness when mixed. Makes an excellent G&T. $35 in Ontario.35.0 CAD per Bottle

Beefeater London Dry Gin (40%)
London Dry Gin — England
Reviewed October 17, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Soft juniper and bright citrus. Light and fresh but a little raw. Less refined than Bombay or Tanqueray. The best of the budget gins in stand-alone taste. Makes a bitter citrus-rind G&T though. $28 in Ontario.28.0 CAD per Bottle -
Light soft rose and refreshing cucumber blended with a hint of juniper and a punch of lemon/citrus rind. The bitter acidity/higher ABV hits mid palate and fades but lingers. Beautiful light flavour but a little unrefined. Adds a slightly overwhelming bitter citrus rind taste when mixed. Makes excellent Negronis. $50 in Ontario.50.0 CAD per Bottle

Tequila Tromba Blanco
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed October 13, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Fairly smooth but it only tastes like agave/pepper in the aftertaste. Up front it's oily/powdered sugar/chalky in taste with a light alcohol burn. Not as sweet as Casamigos but also not as good tasting. $50 in Ontario.50.0 CAD per Bottle -
Collingwood Blended Canadian Whisky
Canadian — Ontario, Canada
Reviewed October 1, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Smooth, very sweet caramelized toffee, raw oak and just a hint of rye spice. Sort of like a cross between Gibson' Finest and Wiser's Legacy with melted toffee mixed in. Good underlying flavour but much too sweet for my taste. Makes a good sour. $35 in Ontario.35.0 CAD per Bottle -
Olmeca Altos Plata Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed September 29, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Fairly smooth. A little too sweet up front but the following flavour and aftertaste is beautiful fresh agave with soft pepper. Not my ideal blanco but certainly better than some 1.5-2x the price. $32 in Ontario.32.0 CAD per Bottle
