1800 Reserva Anejo

A low end anejo which is redeemed by the price point. While it lacks the finish and complexity of higher end anejos, it also lacks the price.

A stunningly different form of corn whisky, that is both groundbreaking and delightful.

Rating: 9
Value: 8

More of a Pastis than an Absinthe, particularly because of it’s lack of a specific type of wormwood ( which from a taste standpoint can be a plus for some people) but pleasant enough, and moderately priced.

Absinthe Ordininaire Liqueur

Much more a absinthe liqueur than a full on Absinthe.Decent for what it is and cheap enough to serve as a gateway absinthe that can dispense with the sugar cube ritual.
