Review: Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice American Cream
Forbidden Secret Pumpkin Spice American Cream will be introduced in October. I was able to get my hands on a bottle a little early. This is their third American Cream flavor. The other two flavors include the previously reviewed Forbidden Secret Dark Mocha, and their White Chocolate American Cream. Pumpkin Spice is crafted with pure Wisconsin dairy cream, rich pumpkin spice, and Jailers Premium Tennessee Whiskey. If the bottle shape looks familiar you may be a fan of Avion Tequila. If this tastes as good as it sounds, the easy grip design will make it easier to drink straight from of the bottle. Read more
Review: Baileys Espresso Crème Irish Cream
Baileys Espresso Crème Irish Cream will soon arrive on store shelves in the US. I was lucky to get my hands on a bottle a little early. Baileys still makes a coffee flavored Irish Cream, but it is no longer available in the US. Espresso Crème is made with aged Irish whiskey, grain spirits, fresh dairy cream, and real Columbian coffee. While this ingredient list reads just like their Bailey’s With a Hint of Coffee Irish Cream, I’m guessing this version has amped up the coffee content. Read more

Review: Clement Mahina Coco

This rhum is made with juice from the first pressing of sugar cane and it is distilled once. The rhum rests for 9 months in a stainless steel vat and is slowly reduced with distilled volcanic spring water.
