Tastes
-
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) -

Russian Standard Vodka
Unflavored Vodka — Russia
Reviewed November 3, 2021 (edited September 6, 2024)Very neutral nose – with a mild toasty, grainy note. Light mouthfeel. Light sweetness on the palate, with a subtle mineral character, and a slight bitterness. Some burn on the finish. An uninteresting vodka, though suitable for cocktails. 2.25/5.00 – Mediocre (neat) -
Hornitos Plata Tequila
Tequila Blanco — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed October 28, 2021 (edited September 6, 2024)Agave, citrus, and faint white pepper on the nose. These same notes return on the palate. Light mouthfeel. Complexity is sorely lacking here, but the relative smoothness helps compensate slightly. 2.25/5.00 – Mediocre (neat) -
Bombay Sapphire East Gin
London Dry Gin — England
Reviewed October 24, 2021 (edited September 6, 2024)Intense aromas of lemongrass, juniper, and coriander, along with a subtler note of licorice. Oily mouthfeel, with a palate of spice, citrus, and earth – black peppercorn and lemongrass being particularly dominant, though juniper and coriander return here as well. Flavours are well-balanced. The medium-length finish has some harshness, but not enough to make the overall experience unpleasant. 2.75/5.00 – Decent (neat)
