  • Maitre Pierre

    Calvados — Normandy, France

    Very obvious apple scent, far less on the taste. A very in-the-middle balance of flavour in the Calvados arena. Not too sweet, makes a great digestive and partners a good coffee very well.

    Not very nice at all. Rough and sweet at the same time. Ok as a mixer but way behind the market at its price level. It seems only the Russians and Polish can make decent vodka.

    Rough! No real flavour here, just alcohol/ethanol. Not worth drinking straight, only good for mixed/cocktail that need a boozy kick.

  • Bacardi Carta Negra

    Dark Rum — Puerto Rico

    Admittedly I'm new to rum but this one seems odd. Other members on the shelf right now are Cacique Anejo and Capt. Morgan Dark. BCN is sweet to start and bitter to finish, in very rapid succession. I have not found a happy mixer for rum yet, to my tastes, and guess this would be better served drowned in something sweet with its own dominating flavour. Straight it's a bit nasty really, on ice bearable. I wouldn't buy another and may well donate the bottle I have.

    Surprisingly rough and ragged. Aroma is a fruity, honey, nutty mix. Taste is a spicy, petrol tinged slap that disappears to nothing at all very quickly. Add a little water or on the rocks and it becomes rather smoother, allowing the flavours to balance better, albeit momentarily. I'd rather drink the cheaper Bells or Famous Grouse than this!

    Yuk! Too sweet, I cannot class this as a vodka in my mind. Even when mixed it's sickly overtones come through. Europeans cannot make proper vodka!

    My steady go to vodka. Decent straight and a good mixer, good value and available in most areas. Blows away the European muck.

    A strange one to mark. On the one hand it has good flavour, leaning towards the likes of Moskovskaya or Evolution. On the other it has a slightly rough after taste when taken straight. Mixes well.

    I'm a relatively recent gin drinker, preferring vodka. However, this is my favourite thus far. The barrel aging has a wonderful effect on this pale amber, wonderfully complex yet well balanced elixir. Other more established gins in this price bracket are bland by comparison.
