Regular Black Label should taste like this. It’s got the same profile but it has much more richness and weight behind it. It still doesn’t have a ton of depth but while Black Label comes off a bit thin this feels like it has purpose. Honey and soft floral spice, slight dark fruit sweetness and rich smoke. Not available in Ontario."

Like a refined, subtle version of Havana Club. Smooth and sweet initially with caramelized banana/tropical fruit, fennel and pepper. While Havana Club has decent flavour this is refined enough to drink on its own, and subtle enough to add gentle character to a cocktail. $50 in Ontario.50.0 CAD per BottleGRAND SPIRITS Distillery

Stephanie’s right, this one falls a little flat. You get a background of rich molasses and brown sugar sweetness but it’s a bit thin all around and while the cognac provides a fruity aspect it also brings along a bit of cognac’s dry tannins that “compliment” the thin, slightly raw spirit quality. It’s really not bad, I wouldn’t turn it down, but I don’t think it’s one I’d purchase. Not currently available in Ontario.GRAND SPIRITS Distillery
