Clase Azul Tequila Reposado
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed September 23, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)It is quite sweet, verging on overpowering but it's not. Very smooth and light. Very soft sweet agave with just the softest hint of oak. Definitely very well rounded, high end taste but not my favourite flavour profile. It's a little light. It needs more roasted depth to it. Very good but overpriced. $170 in Ontario.170.0 CAD per BottleEl Caballito Tequila Bar -
Dulce Vida Reposado 100 Proof Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed September 23, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Rich roasted agave, oak, gentle pepper but some heat from the ABV. On par with Herradura. Not available in Ontario.El Caballito Tequila Bar -
Don Julio Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed September 23, 2016 (edited January 19, 2020)Light and bright agave with just a hint of caramel and oak. A little powdered sugar sweetness that unfortunately distracts a bit from the other flavours. A solid choice but not the most interesting. $85 in Ontario.85.0 CAD per BottleEl Caballito Tequila Bar -
Delicious rich plum/sherry sweetness enveloped in a plume of smoke. As the name implies it's "darker" than the 12 year, with less honey, more dark fruit sweetness. My complaint is that it's just a bit unrefined. Instead of finishing as luscious as it starts it's a bit acidic in the middle and finishes dry, like you had a great night out but smoked one too many cigarettes. That being said I think it’s the best of Bowmore’s core range (although I haven’t had the 25 year). $93 in Ontario.93.0 CAD per BottleThe Caledonian

Laphroaig Quarter Cask
Single Malt — Islay, Scotland
Reviewed September 22, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Light, bright character, the smoke is clearly there but it's not the characteristic medicinal smoke of Laphroaig 10yr. It's a little raw, not harsh but there's definitely a burn to it. For $10 more the 10yr is a much better option. $75 in Ontario.75.0 CAD per BottleThe Caledonian -
Pusser's Rum Original Admiralty Blend (Blue Label)
Navy Rum — Multiple Countries
Reviewed September 4, 2016 (edited August 17, 2018)Similar to Bacardi 8 Year, overly sweet, leather and cotton candy. $41 in Ontario.41.0 CAD per Bottle -
Macallan Select Oak
Single Malt — Highlands, Scotland
Reviewed September 4, 2016 (edited August 5, 2017)Smooth, rich oak with rich plum sweetness and light smoke. Not available in Ontario. -
Smooth and silky with gently floral rich honey sweetness and salty peat smoke. Not as unique/bold as some but it makes up for it with all around quality and balance. I dare say it’s a less floral, significantly silkier version of Bowmore 12 Yr. And at double the price is it worth it? Yes, yes it is. $123 in Ontario.123.0 CAD per BottleRose & Crown Dining Room
