Whether you’re trying to get down with the well-known Truly’s or Twisted Tea’s or trying to spice it up with a BBQ flavored whiskey, we taste, test, and review a bunch of weird, unique, and delicious flavored spirits and pre-mixed drinks.
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….
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…
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…

I’ve crushed my fair share of Twisted Tea out on the golf course, the water, or wherever I may be. Deep Eddy’s Sweet Tea Vodka was also my favorite alcohol back in high school. So, naturally, when I walked by Twisted Tea Sweet Tea Whiskey, I just couldn’t help myself. I’m not in high school…
Hpnotiq Liqueur was one of the most popular liqueurs in the world when it first hit the shelves but since, it has lost its star power and fame. What happened? What is Hpnotiq? Is Hypnotiq good? How did it become a famous liqueur? In this article, we’re going to answer all the questions you have…
While whiskey is our drink of choice here at Barrel and Brew, we’re not ashamed of drinking the fruity stuff from time to time. After reviewing Pink Whitney, we decided to keep the train rolling and check out Truly Flavored Vodka. Truly is known for being one the first to capitalize on the hard seltzer…
While we here at Barrel & Brew aren’t necessarily the biggest fans of flavored spirits, we do appreciate some of them. One of those being Slow & Low Rock and Rye.
