Picked up two bottles of rum over the weekend:
The Real McCoy 12 year - very nice and preferred when blind tasted next to the 2nd bottle.
Parce 12 year - this had a medicinal taste to it that I couldn't get past.

Tullamore Dew 12. This is really nice, with a complex mix of caramel, malt, sweetness and smoke. I don't have a lot of experience with Irish whiskey. They had this open for tasting at a Binny's when I stopped in over the weekend, along with two other TD offerings and I ended up buying a bottle.
Four Roses Single Barrel Cask Strength

Me gustan Tullamore Dew y Tullamore Dew 12. Los dos estan consumidos frequentemente in nuestro hogar!
Balvenie Single Barrel First Fill 12 - something I am ALWAYS in the mood for. One of my favorite whiskys.
Laphroaig 10 Cask Strength - more intense, yet more refined than the standard.
High West Midwinter's Night Dram - VERY impressed. A friend shared with me, must source.

Westland Sherry Wood American Single Malt
Very nice peated, scotch-style whiskey. The sherry cask gives it a rounder profile and smoother finish, imo.

I really like Booker's...needs a little water or ice, though. Packs a punch.
Basil Hayden's Bourbon - an easy drinker without any hard edges

Not any Cuban rum. 
I made a quick, impulsive run north a few days back to visit dear friends, and one of my goals was to find a good bottle of Cuban Rum to bring back with me.
After several fruitless trips to the SAQ, there was only ONE bottling of Cuban rum on the shelves at the 3 stores we visited.
Is there an issue with Cuban rum availability in Canada recently?

Pyrat XO

Hennessy XO
Old Bardstown Estate bourbon for cocktails, Weller 12 and Devil's Share Bourbon (the Ballast Point Brewing Company's spirit outfit that was not part of their sale to Constellation) for sipping.

Love this. Pity about the price increases over the years.
Before heading out to dinner tonight, a few judicious ounces of Green Hat Gin over a big ice cube, by New Colombia Distillers here in the District. Tasted this a while back at the Dupont Circle Farmers Market and liked it, so bought a couple of bottles.
Delicious, with lots of botanicals and juniper, with some citrus and a touch of cardamom. If you live in the area, I highly recommend picking up a bottle. Seriously good stuff. Not a mixing liquor, best enjoyed without distraction.
I quit drinking gin many years ago after a potentially disastrous night involving a young brunette and a Kawasaki. I've tried to be more moderate with my gin consumption since resuming the relationship with this liquor. Tonight was no exception.

During trivia in a local bar last night - Old Fashioned with Benchmark Bourbon - not bad for an inexpensive pour - would not want to drink on its own
Col Taylor Single Barrel Bourbon. Love this stuff.
Old Fashioned made with Woodinville Whiskey Co. 100% Straight Rye. It fit the bill, nicely.
