For your weekend enjoyment I would like to recommend two spirits that may just knock your socks off. At the very least, they're something new to try.
El Tesoro de Don Felipe Tequila
One is actually a portfolio of tequilas from El Tesoro de Don Felipe. The full line includes the usual: blanco (Platinum), reposado, and anejo. All of them have this fantastic natural agave flavor that I look for in a great tequila. El Tesoro comes from Los Altos, those Jalisco highlands that produce the sweeter tequilas and all are great for mixing and sipping. Beyond the taste, my favorite part of this portfolio is that they are all priced within $10 of each other so you can upgrade and mix without the financial guilt. Read the full review...
Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum
The other spirit worth mentioning is Captain Morgan Black Spiced Rum. This is a classic blackstrap rum, all luscious, dark, and thick, with the Captain's twist of spices. The dominate spices are clove and cassia bark, though you will find anise, vanilla, chocolate and even more notes depending what you mix it with. Also, while this one can be used in most any rum cocktail, you will also want to keep it in mind as a whiskey substitute. Read the full review...
Happy sipping!
