Spirits Review Christopher Carlsson

Spirit of the month

ARÔME True Rum Aged 28 Years

If I could I would replace my blood with this.
May have to settle for one of the spirits I would have as my last taste on earth if I could plan such things.

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.
