Bacardí Superior White Rum
Silver Rum — Puerto Rico
Reviewed January 27, 2016 (edited December 1, 2017)Appalling in almost every discernible way. Hugely popular based on a dubious history. There are two major ironies with this swill. Firstly-if you have only ever tried two rums in your life (this being one of them) the non Bacardi rum instantly becomes the benchmark as to what rum should taste like. Secondly - you can't call something "Superior" when it isn't, to anything. -
Jose Cuervo Especial Gold Tequila
Tequila Mixto — Tequila Valley, Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed January 27, 2016 (edited January 22, 2018)Ray Dolby, Karl Benz and Jose Cuervo all considered pioneers and inventors. Statistically speaking your life has been touched by all three. Fan of non-silent movies? Cheers Ray. Use a car ? Danke Karl Ever been "feeling no pain" but craved one for the road and ordered a Jose Cuervo Gold, drank it, regretted it, but not as much as you did the next day ? Gracias Jose - with its 30% market share - I'm struggling to think if there is a more frequently bought product (let alone drink) in the world, by people who are intoxicated, who would not even consider it if they were sober and with good reason it tastes bad,muchos bad. -
I like bourbon, I don't like cruises - as it turns out I don't like bourbon that has been on a cruise(voyage). I presume Jeffersons thought this marketing ploy up, over a bottle or two of their own grog. The same grog that was then packed off round the world, then bottled at a premium. This experiment in my humble opinion, was a waste of time. The liquor inside the bottle tastes like bourbon that has been filtered through a salted sieve. I presume Jeffersons did not send "their" finest bourbon on this trip and that is bad, as it renders this seemingly young thin whiskey a novelty. Doing something because you can, is not the same as doing something because you should. Mal Voyage

Good not great . Better than average .... Could be so much worse, could be so much better - every market in the world has this type of benchmark - it's Coldplay, it's Levi's, it's Volkswagen, it's Die Hard Three,!! The only exceptional thing about this offering is that it tastes young/ spicy and depending on your disposition this will be a good thing or not. Will buy again, but the hardest part will be getting excited about it.

After excellent Michters ten year old, approached this as it sounded unusual in the age of barrel finishing, premium prices and high proof whiskeys. I loved it !! - light, satisfying and very rewarding. It's almost as if someone at Michters actually concocted a plan to create the perfect gateway whiskey. I commend them for thinking outside the box, I really commend them for pulling it off. Grab a bottle if you can and leave your preconceptions at the door- great liquor !!!!
