i like it. drinks well on the rocks. the additional aging in charred bourbon barrels definitely gives it a much different flavor vs the regular jameson. it’s a pretty good value compared to something like redbreast 12-yr or green spot which go for twice the price of black barrel.

sláinte!

Black barrel seems like a new, enjoyable trend? That black barrel Hornitos is pretty dang sipping good!

And?

Somebody brought a chilled bottle of Corralejo Blanco to turkey dinner. There was nothing to take home. I'd never had before, wasn't too bad. I see they have an anejo, which I might prefer.

Really Good! Smooth just like I insist on. Dark fruits. Oily. Full finish. Very approachable. Not at all smoky, also what I prefer. Solid for its price and interesting.

Dunno if its my new favorite or if the Atelier Del Maestro is better (and maybe better because I can only find it in Mexico) but becoming more and more of a fan of Tears Of Llorona

I saw Basil-Hayden had a "toasted" bourbon last night, but didn't pick up a bottle.

Anyone?

I believe what truly elevates this mixer is the cloves, cardamom, cinnamon and orange bitters. Oh the cherry too.

Those are so tasty. According to the ingredients, it's Cherry Juice concentrate. But tasty indeed.

You need to mix that Jose with something, to hide the taste.

if you dont go with a full-blown margarita or paloma, any lime or grapefruit soda goes well with most tequilas. i know people that use sprite or 7up but those are too sweet for my tastes. fresca is a pretty great tequila mixer right out of the can.

Bad and even worse...

An American corn vodka which should strictly be used for mixing... don't drink it straight and next time go for the ever so slighly more expensive Ketel One which for $19 is a mighty fine Vodka that is super smooth.

Jose... almost no one should be drinking that ... it became the world's most popular tequila by being first and the absolute cheapest. Try Cazadores for $19.99... which is only 1 level above but much better than Jose.

Titos is good. I normally sip on it with some soda water and a lemon wedge.
