This was a nice pickup from Red Liquors. Foursquare Crisma Barbados Rum Cream Liqueur had enough flavor to stand out, especially the cream, but still stayed bright and easy to drink. Friends asked what it was, which is always a good sign.

This bottle had a good, honest flavor. Dewar’s Double Double 37 Year Scotch w/ Baccarat Glass Set was not harsh, and the cinnamon plus vanilla notes made it feel a little more special than a basic pick. It worked well both neat and mixed, depending on the mood.

This bourbon was smooth without feeling flat. The first thing I noticed was the caramel, then a little vanilla on the finish. It felt natural with food and was easy for everyone to enjoy.

I bought Absolut Citron Vodka because the description sounded interesting, and it matched pretty well. The clean note was clear, the crisp was softer, and the overall taste was mellow.

Kirk and Sweeney Reserva Rum was a good choice for the shelf. It had a crisp feel, and the oak came through without covering up the honey. I would buy it again for guests.

This bottle had a good, honest flavor. Mission Brewing Foggy Shores Hefeweizen 4-Pack was not harsh, and the balanced plus malty notes made it feel a little more special than a basic pick. I liked that it tasted close to what the product notes described.

Really liked this one. Mary Dowling High Rye Bourbon Finished In Tequila Barrels felt balanced from the first pour, with a good mix of oak and vanilla. It is the kind of bottle I would keep around for weekends. The flavor stayed consistent from the first glass to the last.

Glendalough 7 Year Mizunara Cask Single Malt Irish Whiskey was a good choice for the shelf. It had a clean feel, and the chocolate came through without covering up the oak. I would buy it again for guests. It worked well both neat and mixed, depending on the mood.

Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 17 Year Old Barrel Proof Kentucky Straight Bourb was a good choice for the shelf. It had a rich feel, and the caramel came through without covering up the vanilla. I would buy it again for guests.
