Made in a castle in a village that bears the whiskies name. Made with a unique process of ageing. Made with too many words talking about itself we have this – Slane Whiskey. A truly unique Irish Whiskey, in that it tastes not like a typical Irish whiskey but is also not really great.
Selassie: 3.0 – Essentially it is just an imperial and not much else. The coffee or vanilla is so far gone and overall as a stout it’s just not good.
Price Average: $16

When one thinks of Sonoma County one typically thinks of wine. The question then arises, well if they’re so good at wine, are they good at making anything else. With that, we have a gin, and while it’s a single data point and is therefore inconclusive we have an answer – no they can’t.
Cream Ale: 6.5 – It’s light and hoppy but that cream style really is what makes this special even if that’s just a classic style.
Price Average: $13

Oberon: 6.0 – They say spicy hops and fruit,but here’s the real story. They threw gushers into this beer. It’s really like a nice wheat beer with that as aftertaste.
Price Average: $10 for 6-Pack

Well, last week was about America so let’s move on to some Christi- dammit. Yes, dear readers now that we’ve scrubbed out whiskey onto its own day we can finally kick brandy and cognac into high gear, and as a lower gear (in terms of cost/tier) this is, for the most part, a pleasant one to drive in.
Luppolo: 6.0 – It’s a sort of nice, mellow pilsner, and the aftertaste is clean making it nice easy drinking.
Price Average: $7 draft

We have a few sins one can commit on this site. First is the lack of frank discussion about spirits and their companies. The second is the usage of language meant to confuse people not familiar with spirits to make it seem like secret knowledge. With that in mind here’s a company from 2009 peddling as a prohibition whiskey that because New York has ‘terroir’ is a good whiskey. What a load of horseshit.
