Reviews

Below is a breakdown of all the liquors we have tried and our reviews of them.  Our ranking system is pretty simple.  We will normally pick one or two of the below options for each liquor.

  • Buy – This is a liquor we would gladly buy for our own personal collections
  • Gift – This is a liquor that we wouldn’t have a problem giving as a gift for another (i.e. a white elephant, birthday, party, etc.)
  • Pass – This is a liquor that we would take a pass on if we had the option
