There is a seriously high amount of pears in the Clear Creek Pear Brandy. The website for the Clear Creek Distillery says that thirty pounds of Pears are utilized in each 750ML bottle of their brandy. The initial nose from the Pear Brandy is nothing to scoff at; one smell and an individual will be floored if they are not expecting it. This is not a lightly-fragranced spirit, and while…
We have been looking for a special time to break out the Van Gogh and give it a proper review, and we thought that the New Years Eve holiday would be the best time for it. The vodka, which is now turning 10, has steadily crafted some of the more memorable fruit-flavored vodkas on the market (including Pineapple, Raspberry, and Melon).
Ciroc Coconut is the first spirit that we have received that has not actively been on the market yet, so I feel as if our little Alcohol Reviews section is finally getting somewhere. As that is enough of an aside, we will take an in-depth look at the spirit now. Ciroc itself had been an interesting anomaly in terms of vodka. Where a great number of higher-end vodkas pride themselves…
Anyone that knows me on NeuFutur or at the headquarters knows that I am not a fan of coffee in the slightest. I was going to sit this review out, but the other reviewers urged me to familiarize myself with Kahlua’s latest offering. I am glad that I had the ability to try it, as it is one of the better creamy liqueurs that I have had since we have…
Sauza has been a major name in Tequila for a long period of tiem, but I believe that before today, I had never had a chance to check out the spirit until now. This tequila has been through two levels of distilling, ensuring for the smoothest possible experience. The Blanco is as clear as water, while the nose of the Blanco blends well the alcohol bite and familiar tequila body.…
Coconut is one of the more familiar flavors that rum has been placed with in my experience, and this is not for nothin’; the taste of the coconut meshes well with the rum, and the resulting spirit exudes a more tropical flavor than say a Cherry rum. The Brinley Gold version of coconut rum is one of the best I have had. First off, the rum with which the coconut…
Platinum 7X is a vodka that we have seen take over the shelf space of a great many of the liquor stores that we here at NeuFutur have stopped at in the last feqw months. From first blush, what Sazerac has done here is to create a visually distinctive product. Whether it is the deep blue of the bottle or the triangular shape of said bottle, potential purchasers will immediately…
We here at NeuFutur have had the chance to try out a number of different whiskies, but I feel that there have not been too many changes to the archetypal style. However, Jim Beam has attempted to rock the boat and come up with something new and fresh. This four year-old bourbon is infused with black cherry flavoring (natural flavorings, of course), which ties a little bit of sweet to…
For those that have been able to try out some of the various efforts by Barefoot Bubbly, they understand that the company is able to put together some amazing efforts at a stellar price. However, they may not know that there is a new type of Barefoot Bubbly – Moscato Spumante – that will be tickling drinker’s throats all through the end of this year and into 2010. This (very)…
We have had a few shots at the different offerings by Mathilde in the last few months, and we wanted to save one of the best for last. This is their Blackcurrant Liqueur, a spirit that may seem to be a little viscous compared to other similar liqueurs, but is in reality a dark horse, with a specific quality that individuals would not necessarily expect out of a similar colored…
