While we are certified whiskey specialists we enjoy drinking a variety of spirits, like Tequila and Vodka. We even have fun tasting both fantastic and absolutely disgusting flavored spirits, too. Whatever else it is lives here with tastings and reviews, general information, and even some cocktail (or shot) recipes.
I’ve been interested in exploring more tequilas, but before I branch out, I want to cover all the basic, popular options. I’ve reviewed Casamigos and Don Julio before, but I want to drink them side by side to see which is better. We’re going to discuss the differences in taste, flavor, and production. Is one…
You may find yourself walking through the aisle of a liquor store when a snowy bottle of Jack Daniel’s catches your eye – a spiced apple punch cider. ‘I wonder if this is good’. ‘I wonder if I can make some fun holiday themed cocktails with this’. Well, that’s precisely what went through my mind….
It comes time to pick up a bottle of tequila for the party. You’re not 20 years old, and you want something decent, or at least something that appears decent. A couple popular options are Casamigos, Patron, and Don Julio. Which would you choose? Which should you choose? In this article, we’re going to discuss…
We all know the different liquors, at least most of us know the main ones. You’ve got whiskey, rum, vodka, tequila. But it’s not really that simple, and what actually separates these? What are the differences between something like tequila from say whiskey? In this article, we’ll discuss the legal differences between whiskey and tequila,…
This bottle was supplied to us for a review free of charge. I’ll try to be as unbiased as possible, but a free bottle of whiskey always tastes better than one you pay for. As you can tell, there are a lot of unknowns with the actual spirit that goes into a bottle of Von…
Howler Head is a flavored bourbon – a whiskey specialty – that has gotten a lot of attention. Perhaps the main reason is the partnership between Howler Head and Dana White and the UFC. Howler Head is the official whiskey of the UFC, so it certainly receives a lot of screen time. Our goal is…
Let me start by admitting that I purchased this 50ml bottle of Shanky’s Whip for two reasons. The name and the bottle design. The name, Shanky’s Whip, reminded me of something out of Runescape, and the bottle is reminscent of those comics on Bazooka Bubblegum. It was intrgiguing to say the least, so I picked…
A couple months ago I reviewed Hornitos Plata Tequila, and it was almost really good, but just a little off. Some people had recommended I try Hornitos Black Barrel, one of their añejo offerings, instead. Well, I recently decided to give it a try because I was looking at making some tequila old fashioneds. If…
When we think about vodka, we often think potatoes. But not all vodka is made from potatoes. In fact, very few vodkas are made from potatoes. So, what is vodka made from? Well, vodka is made from pretty much anything. That can be confusing, though. I mean, is corn vodka simply unaged bourbon? If almost…
Whiskey is generally sipped, I mean when it comes to good whiskey at least. Tequila is often used in a much more diverse manner. Yeah, the expensive and aged tequila is very good when it’s sipped, the cheap stuff is fine in a marg, but a lot of us… A lot of us drink tequila…
I was wandering the liquor store on the morning of Cinco De Mayo looking for some tequila and beer. I already had the Pacifico’s picked out, and just needed some tequila for margaritas. I was looking for tequila reposado that was reasonably priced, or even cheap. That’s when I came across Don Ramon Tequila Reposado….
Every now and then I like to do a flavored whiskey or vodka review. It’s not something I like to drink neat or on the rocks, but they often make good cocktails, or at least creative ones. I recently reviewed Ole Smoky’s flavored moonshine and thoroughly enjoyed a lot of them. Well, when I saw…
