What I've always wanted Jameson to taste like. The IPA casks add a much needed extra kick to the Jameson while it still remains a smooth, easy sipper with vague caramel and vanilla flavors. By no means a complex whisky yet nonetheless it's so pleasant to indulge as you turn your brain off. A worthy addition to your casual drinking bottles though be aware that the IPA influence is mild, so if you specifically want something with strong IPA throughout, this product will disappoint you.

Smells really great! Pretty fruity, mostly pineapple with a nice peppery oder offsetting the sweetness though oddly barely any agave comes through. Tastes fairly sweet at first channeling it's pineapple smell though that quickly gives way to oak, leather then a very strong, very long black pepper taste with some agave mixed in at the end. Not bad at all though if you want agave front and center this isn't the Tequila for you.

An aroma of a typical reposado, pineapple and some ethanol immediately hits your nose. At first taste this is just a standard, fairly unimpressive reposado with no habañero in sight. But then you get to the finish. And by God, what a lovely finish it is! As soon as the agave begins to recede you're hit with the capsaicin of the habeñero which mixes delightfully well with the agave flavors, bringing out a pineapple taste and quite a bit of heat. I eat spicy food all the time yet felt the heat from the habañero for a good two minutes along with the accentuated taste of the agave. This is an excellent mixer just begging to give your next margarita a nice kick or to create some interesting spicy cocktails. Don't sleep on this tequila!

Bottle just says "Made with Agave" signifying that it's not 100% agave and thus not a real tequila. It advertises itself as an inoffensive, affordable mixer but I'll be honest, it's smell is absolutely pungent. It smells like bad agave, ethanol and some weird chemical flavor I cannot put my finger on but which I also sense in bottom shelf vodka like Vitali. The smell alone almost made me gag. Surprisingly it doesn't taste nearly as foul as its smell. Don't get me wrong it doesn't taste good or even mediocre but I didn't want to immediately spit it out. The best way I can describe the taste is that it straight up tastes like someone diluted Jose Cuervo Silver in water which works in its favor because at least it doesn't pack the punch of raw Cuervo. I'm sure I can throw it into a margarita and get something close to those horrid premixes they sell so you know, I guess this bottle has a purpose. But really, if you're looking for cheap "tequila," why not just get Sauza? It's also industrial crap but at least it doesn't taste like watered down Cuervo and its smell won't be as offensive. I'd say stay away.

It falls under that camp of flavored spirits that just tastes like fake chemicals to me. The vanilla taste is there but so are so many other overpowering flavors that made this undrinkable for me. I can see it pairing well with coke in small quantities so it's not completely useless but I immediately got a headache from how sweet this was.

Tastes unlike any other gin I've ever had. It doesn't have any of the bite I associate with gin. This is actually quite mellow and the two flavors that stick out to me the most are almond and weirdly enough...kelp? You'd think those two wouldn't mix but actually it makes for a refreshing if singular gin experience. I would warn though that some gin cocktails just would not fit this because of its unique profile but don't let that stop you from enjoying this excellent gin.
