This is a truly great spirit that goes well on ice as well as neat. No need to spoil it with water; the ice melt is sufficient. My uneducated palate immediately picked up a... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~449380388484 Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:11:18 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_449380388484?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_415198056068?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author pherd - I am a bartender that has worked in a luxury resort for nearly 30 years. I have seen trends come & go in the liquor business. Grey Goose still has me scratching my head. This is awful vodka. How it won any award is amazing to me.

Its a very heavy scotch which reflects the sherry cask aging in a most impressive way. It is by far my favorite and in my opinion is a bargain for the price. I have had much more expensive single malt... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~411733495428 Sat, 22 Dec 2007 22:54:08 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_411733495428?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406647770756?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author eastwind42 - Way out in the western shores of Scotland is an island named Islay. Here on this Island where some of the most flavourful Scotch Whisky is made stands a distillery Called Bowmore.

Too much of that barrel taste, and throw in a high alcohol proof (which I believe Noah's Mill does to mask the ultra strong barrel/tannin taste)and you have a Bourbon that is... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406620180100 Sun, 28 Oct 2007 23:18:42 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406620180100?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406535442052?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author fitzspike195 - A good middle-of-the-road single malt scotch. Much better than blended scotch and a great value at the $20 it cost me. I went back the next week and bought another bottle. It certainly won't measure up to the great single malt whiskies but it is quite... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406535442052 Sat, 27 Oct 2007 15:45:21 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406535442052?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_406421999236?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author big_luke1913 - Contrary to most of the ratings regarding Dickel number 8 Vs number 12, I find that Dickel number 8 is the smoother of the two. Number 12 is supposed to have a dry finish. I find it to be harsher than the mellow number 8. I don't mean weaker.

Just walk into any bar or restaurant in Brazil, and they'll have it on the menu.

Being a tequila fan, I have tried many top-shelf brands. Patron Silver is by far my favorite. Obviously no salt or lime necessary, this is a great sipping tequila, and you can find it at most restaurants and... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~406228668036 Tue, 23 Oct 2007 12:59:14 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_406228668036?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405846396548?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author sanchezsj - For the price, this is far worth it's money. For under $100 a bottle (don't pay a penny more) this is so impressive. It is smooth enough to sip on and has an agave caramel body with a smooth savouring after taste. This is the complete package, it comes... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405846396548 Thu, 18 Oct 2007 05:07:05 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405846396548?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405687209604?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 1/5 by: Epinions Author wesleyman - Before it got bought out by Bacardi Grey Goose used to be a quality Vodka but now its just as hard on the throat as the others.Try this new Vodka that won a spirits test in Russia its called Fortune Vodka,i have always appreciated the Russian stuff more... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405687209604 Tue, 16 Oct 2007 06:31:49 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405687209604?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405127007876?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author fitzspike195 - Another excellent relatively low-end Irish Whiskey. The big four in order of light to stronger flavors: Bushmills, Jameson, Tullamore Dew, and Powers. I find the Powers Gold to have more character than the others though giving up a wee bit of smoothness... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~405127007876 Tue, 9 Oct 2007 00:10:01 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_405127007876?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_405113900676?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author jan714 - I received my first bottle of this sensual elixir for my birthday this summer and have been hooked ever since. I should say up front that I'm a long time fan of Cuervo Gold ... that is, when I'm not drinking my favorite Jack Daniels.

It delivers on a smooth raspberry flavor and it's not to heavy. Low on alcohol. Works very well for Chocolate Truffles, and even better as a sauce for New York Style Cheesecake. Great for an after dinner drink.

I was ready to pick up the bottle on the store shelf and then saw that it came in a sample bottle.

Your average LCBO (the government-run monopoly liquor stores) will have Jack Daniel's, (I know, it's not technically a bourbon), Jim Beam, (white and black), and two or three of Woodford... http://www.epinions.com/content/submit.html/comment_~404445236868 Sun, 30 Sep 2007 01:23:47 GMT http://www.epinions.com/content_404445236868?linkin_id=8003929 http://www.epinions.com/content_404417842820?linkin_id=8003929 rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author ffcpa2 - This is a totally enjoyable bourbon that is in a league above Maker's Mark, Knob Creek or Wild Turkey 101.

It is a very good bottle of booze however. Highly recommended for American sour mash. I am enjoying a flagon as we speak. A 90 proof whiskey so asks for a slash of water on the rocks.
