Don Fulano Blanco Tequila
Don Fulano · Tequilera Corralejo / NOM 1146
Don Fulano's blanco is a study in discipline. Nothing shouts, nothing hides. The agave is allowed to speak clearly, supported by a clean distillation that lets varietal character shine. An exceptional mixing tequila that's equally compelling neat.
Nose
Clean cooked agave and bright citrus — lime and grapefruit — with an herbal mint quality and a hint of white pepper. A subtle mineral earthiness sits underneath.
Palate
Crisp and focused, with agave sweetness balanced by grass and green pepper notes. Citrus runs through the center, and there's a pleasant yeasty, bread-like quality that adds body.
Finish
Medium, with a clean agave fade, a flicker of white pepper, and lingering citrus peel.

Tyrconnell 10 Year Old Madeira Cask Finish
Tyrconnell
The Madeira finish gives this Tyrconnell an extra dimension that its standard expressions don't reach. Ten years of maturation provides enough malt structure to stand up to the wine cask influence, and the result is an Irish whiskey with genuine layering. An underrated gem in the single malt category.
Clairin Communal Vaval
Clairin
Clairin Communal Vaval is rum stripped to its most honest expression — no aging, no blending across distilleries, no additives. Fritz Vaval's small operation in Cavaillon uses native yeast fermentation and direct-fire distillation to produce a spirit that tastes of exactly where it comes from. It's a masterclass in terroir-driven rum.
David Nicholson Reserve Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
David Nicholson
David Nicholson Reserve punches well above its modest price, offering layered complexity that rewards patient sipping. The 100-proof backbone gives it cocktail versatility without sacrificing neat-pour nuance. A workhorse bourbon that deserves more shelf attention.
Inverroche Classic Gin
Inverroche
Inverroche Classic demonstrates that terroir is not limited to wine. The wild fynbos botanicals hand-foraged from the Cape coastline give this gin a genuinely unique aromatic fingerprint. It is simultaneously familiar enough for a juniper-focused gin drinker and distinctive enough to reward close attention.
Cascahuin Añejo Tequila
Cascahuin
Cascahuin operates a small family-run distillery that has been producing tequila since 1904, and their añejo reflects that generational patience. The oak aging complements rather than masks the agave, which is exactly what separates craft añejos from their overworked competitors. Exceptional value for the quality.
Tequila Ocho Reposado 2021
Tequila Ocho
The 2021 vintage from Tequila Ocho demonstrates why this brand's single-estate, vintage-dated approach matters. The oak influence is deliberate and restrained — just enough to add structure without masking the agave. This is reposado as punctuation, not transformation. One of the most honest expressions of rested tequila available.
Lote Maestro Blanco
Lote Maestro
Lote Maestro's blanco is an exercise in agave transparency. The Rubio family distillery uses traditional brick ovens and a slow fermentation that allows the raw material to speak. This is a straightforward, additive-free blanco that does exactly what it should — put the agave first.
El Tesoro Blanco
El Tesoro
El Tesoro Blanco is a textbook expression of traditional highland tequila production. The tahona-crushed agave and copper pot distillation create a blanco with unusual depth and texture — the kind of bottle that converts skeptics.
