Langley's Number 8
London Dry Gin — Hampshire, England, England
Reviewed December 16, 2023 (edited September 6, 2024)Intense aromas of juniper, fresh-cracked black pepper, lemon peel, and licorice. Lightly oily in the mouth. On the palate, all the same notes reappear, alongside an undertone of pine wood. Smooth, medium-long finish. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat) -
Bacardí Superior White Rum
Silver Rum — Puerto Rico
Reviewed November 17, 2023 (edited September 6, 2024)Very neutral nose, with faint accents of grapefruit, lime, and sugarcane. Mildly oily, round mouthfeel, with a little bit of heat. The same subdued notes from the nose reappear on the palate, with the addition of subtle nutmeg and vanilla which predominate on the short finish. It's not undrinkable – but don't expect it to be pleasant on its own or to stand out in any cocktail. 2.00/5.00 – Bad (neat) -

Gold Rum — Jamaica
Reviewed November 5, 2023 (edited September 6, 2024)Notes of nutmeg, overripe banana, raisin, molasses, and subtle peach on the nose. Mouthfeel is relatively light and slightly oily. On the palate, notes of brown sugar, vanilla, more peach, and a bit more raisin and banana funk. Medium-length finish. 2.75/5.00 – Decent (neat) -
