Javelin Vodka – Drinking for a Cause

A well made vodka that uses an unusual mix of ingredients yielding a smooth taste. Also, 100 % of Javelin’s sale supports an excellent cause.
An outstanding way to continue to drink vodka and not only not support Russian aggression but fight it!

Ocean Organic Vodka

Type:

A well-done, organic vodka that breaks from the cookie-cutter mold that most vodka is cut from. Recommended!

Heaven Hill Heritage Collection 1st Edition

Type:

Decent if not spectacular. More of an investment than a drinking bottle for the low-life bottom feeders that engage in such a trade as it will no doubt be a limited edition and much sought-after bottle. Yes, I think a Heaven Hill aficionado would enjoy it quite a bit and it is worth trying if you can, but maybe not buying an entire bottle as it is pricey for what it is. Leave it to the speculators and shallow egotists and buy some of their more modestly priced releases for enjoyment.

Larceny Barrel Proof Batch C921 122.6 Proof

Type:

Well done and complex. An easy-to-drink, smooth, and interesting without being a challenge. Nice enough to buy and cheap enough to be an everyday.
Great deal for $50 these days, beats out the Elijah Craig Barrel Proof at $20 more on value. Bothe however are some of the best buys in Bourbon currently.

For those of you who are interested in Spirits Review and Myself, here is some  background… 

Who We Are: Spirits Review was founded in January of 2005 and now currently has approximately 250,000 hits and 17,000 unique visitors per week worldwide. We are a website – not a blog (but we also maintain a blog here)

What We Do: We review distilled spirits, bitters, beer, wine, mixers, garnishes, etc.,. We evaluate both on overall quality and also a price to value ratio. We also have sister sites Barwarereviews.com  (under Construction) and Boozebooks.com which review bar ware and equipment of all types – both for home and commercial use and books on spirits, cocktails and alcohol related subjects respectively. We also travel widely as photojournalists to photograph and write about distilleries, breweries, bars, along with cocktail and spirit events, to show people where a product is made, who makes it, and where best to consume them.
