Flor de Caña Gran Reserva 7 Rum
Gold Rum — Nicaragua
Reviewed August 28, 2022 (edited September 6, 2024)Aromas of cinnamon, cola, vanilla, nutmeg, cloves, and licorice. On the palate, notes of caramel, oak, and roasted chestnuts, along with more vanilla, nutmeg, and cloves. Round, lightly tannic mouthfeel. Considerable length on the finish. 3.25/5.00 – Quite Good (neat) -
Intense honey and almond on the nose – marzipan in a glass – with some subtler hints of licorice and cherry. The same notes reappear on the palate, with a notably toastier undertone. Rich mouthfeel, with considerable sweetness. Arguably oversweet, though not enough to be completely cloying when well chilled. 2.50/5.00 – Acceptable (on the rocks)
-
Subtle toffee, vanilla, baked pear, orange zest, and light smoke on the nose. Apple chips, honey, more vanilla, and more orange zest on the palate. Light without being thin. Has a bit of heat on the short-medium finish – but overall a solid whisky, particularly for the price point. 3.00/5.00 – Good (neat)

Empress 1908 Indigo Gin
Distilled Gin — British Columbia, Canada
Reviewed June 1, 2022 (edited September 6, 2024)Aromas include juniper, coriander, grapefruit, cinnamon, and ginger – along with a distinct floral character. That floral character returns in force on the palate, along with the coriander and juniper, followed by the other aforementioned notes in somewhat lesser measure. Oily, round mouthfeel. Quite long on the finish, with very little harshness. 3.50/5.00 – Impressive (neat) -

The intensity and complexity are absolutely there, but they come with notable heat. 3.50/5.00 – Impressive (neat)
