Good value vodka
Review of Sainsburys Basics Vodka by

Advantages: The price
Disadvantages: Not great neat
Just before last Christmas I realized I needed to stock up on a few bottles of spirits, as I had a few party's to cater for at my house over the festive period. I do a lot of my shopping at my local Sainsbury's store which was built around 2 years ago, an ...

Tracy had a little Lamb and then fell over.
Review of Lamb's Navy Rum by
trayrope
Advantages: Nice bottle, mixes well.
Disadvantages: A bit harsh.
One of my first ever short drinks was a Bacardi and Coke, to me this felt like an adult drink (I used to drink sweet cider) and started my preference for spirits. In the run up to Christmas (2012) my Husband popped to the supermarket to pick up a few bott ...

The writing is on the wall
Review of Isle of Jura Superstition - Single Island Malt Scotch Whisky by
dangaroo
Advantages: Stylish, smoky and moreish
Disadvantages: The resulting hangover
Although, I do enjoy a tipple from time to time, I'm not a big whisky lover. Regardless of the quantity, I usually find the first sip to be like accidentally swallowing perfume (something that has actually happened when I've used it in an emergency to dry ...

Ron Abuelo 12 Year Old Rum - smooth and sweet
Review of Abuelo Ron Abuelo 12 Year Old Rum by
cr01
Advantages: A nice smooth rum
Disadvantages: Just a little too smooth and sweet for me.
With a stray hour at a Spanish airport I decided to continue my quest to find a rum brand I might enjoy even more than my standard tipple of 20 years, Havana Club. Fortunately at the duty free there was quite a choice, and so I picked up a bottle of 12 ye ...

A smooth and versatile spirit
Review of Bacardi White Rum by
Gingerkitty
Advantages: Smooth, strong enough to taste over mixers, versatile
Disadvantages: Strong, so enjoy in moderation!
...but when we had some Bacardi left over from a cake I'd attempted to make (I say "attempted" because it was a disaster), I sipped my way through the rest of the small bottle on the odd occasion I felt lik ...

LIberte better than the real thing
Review of LIberte White Rum by
madeindevon
Advantages: Every bit as good as the brand name, if not better
Disadvantages: Hic!
My hubby and I enjoy a nice glass of Bacardi, but frankly the brand name price is absolutely shocking, so we have long since learned to compromise our tastes and try other brands.
Frankly, we have been successful, we know which shop sells a white rum br ...

Advantages: Price, flavour

Jeeves Original - more than excellent
Review of Jeeves Original by
madeindevon
Advantages: Taste just like Pimms
Disadvantages: None
How I had managed to get to the age of 44 years old without every trying a glass of Pimms I will never know.
Everyone has heard of Pimms, but it would appear that not everyone has tried it. I am not the only one either - my husband had not tried it befo ...

Rum from Jamaica
Review of Appleton White Rum by
Jennster85
Advantages: cheap
Disadvantages: not the best
Sorry, this is yet another rum review. Rum is my favourite drink, it is highly drinkable and you can mix it in many weird and wonderful cocktails. I have been on a few holidays to the Caribbean and Jamaica was my favourite place; because of the rum. Apple ...
