El Padrino De Mi Tierra Extra Añejo
Tequila Extra Añejo — Jalisco, Mexico
Reviewed November 15, 2022Very solid extra anejo. Pronouced Flavours of wood and caramel, brown sugar and a nice agave/saponin sharpness that compliments the former flavours. -
Honestly became one of my favorite Brandy and my first introduction to armagnac, this stuff is wonderful. rich vanilla soaked oakiness with an even more powerful honey sweetness. notes of pear, apricot and toffee. I prefer it more than Hennessy or courvoisier, and although I’m not a cognac/Armagnac connoisseur I do greatly enjoy this stuff. The price point is also great too, maybe a bit more expensive than Hennessy but this stuff speaks for itself

Monopolowa Whiskey 1782
Other Whiskey — Austria , Austria
Reviewed October 7, 2022 (edited February 22, 2023)i was a bit surprised to be honest despite me being both a monopolowa vodka and gin fan. your hit with a instant sweetness but just as quickly shifts to a dry cinnamon, hay and oak wood. I think I even detect minute hints of peat in this as well. the finish is long and hot but leave you with an earthy taste in your mouth. not the best thing ever but not undrinkable, and to try an Austrian whiskey, 23 dollars really isn’t that bad. I feel like some highland fans could enjoy this as an everyday whiskey. -
Montelobos Espadín Mezcal Joven
Mezcal Joven — Oaxaca, Mexico
Reviewed September 18, 2022 (edited August 11, 2023)Rubbery smoke nose with hints of prosciutto, front is watery but transitions into more rubber smoke, citrus and salt. the tail is trailed by that smoke and is relatively smooth and short lived. pretty solid stuff
