Habitation Velier Forsyths WP single Jamaican rum 2005
Aged Rum — Jamaica, Jamaica
Reviewed September 2, 2020This is my favorite sipping rum so it gets all my stars (over multiple Foursquare releases I also own). Thick, viscous with classic banana flavors, less funky than WP high ester juice but still enough to be interesting. Currently has permanent spot on my shelf until something knocks it off -
Old Potrero Straight Rye "Century Grand Pick" Single Barrel
Rye — California, USA
Reviewed September 2, 2020 (edited April 15, 2021)I have this as a Binny's store pick but have tried multiple barrels/picks. Love this much more than the regular proof version. Full flavor, sweet onn palate with the classic rye spices. My fave pick for full strength rye, so it gets all my stars. -

Old Forester 1920 Prohibition Style
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed March 10, 2020 (edited March 29, 2020)There's something about this thats simply enjoyable and better than the sum of its parts. As the graph says, lots of flavor peaks that go well together. It took about 3-4 bottles where I couldn't keep this bourbon on the shelf in my liquor cabinet for me to realize that this is one of my go-to favorites. Flavor wins over snob value. -
High West A Midwinter Night's Dram Act 7 (All Scenes)
Rye — (bottled in) Utah, USA
Reviewed January 3, 2020 (edited July 1, 2022)I'm somewhere between a 4 and a 5 but am rating up because it's the sort of thing I'll keep reaching for. Having just come off a solid holiday week of drinking good barrel strength rye, this isn't what I'd serve to rye snob friends. But instead it's a crowdpleaser great for bourbon drinkers transitioning to rye. The port barrel is subtle and doesnt steal from the rye. Though worth rationing in the liquor cabinet, I'm making the conscious decision to get through mine before spring and hope I can score another next year. -
G4 Reposado Tequila
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed December 7, 2019 (edited December 13, 2020)I'm bad at putting flavors into words, but suffice it to say this tequila is always on my shelf and it's a great value for the price. Agave is at the forefront, lots of other stuff behind it but nothing overpowering or out of balance. This is what I serve to people who want to sip tequila for the first time. I also think the repo is the best value in the series, brings lots of flavor with a little age, good balance between agave and barrel. -
Clase Azul Tequila Reposado
Tequila Reposado — Los Altos, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed December 27, 2018 (edited April 21, 2024)This may be my favorite liquor period. Has a floral, vanilla, slightly sweet flavor that is a dream to sip. Hard to keep in the house because everyone who tries it keeps drinking it until it's gone.99.0 USD per Bottle -
