Beverage of the Week
Hamilton Pimento Dram Liqueur The Hamilton Pimento Dram was born out of need. Bartenders across the nation sought an authentic Pimento Dram for their Rum and Tiki cocktails. Ed Hamilton, Rum importer and authority searched Jamaica for a great Pimento Dram to export but came up empty. Failure wasn’t an option… See the Beverage of the Week feature

Wine Reviews
Boccantino Susumaniello IGP Salento 2018
Brilliant, deep ruby/purple color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of red plum, cherry, and sweet raspberry with supporting notes of pomegranate, mineral, and lavender. The palate confirms the nose delivering a ripe red fruits-driven core with juicy notes of crushed berries. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Medium to full-bodied and nicely balanced with a silky texture. $15 4 Stars/92 points
Spirits Reviews
Hamilton Petite Shrubb Orange Liqueur See the Full BevX Featured Review
Slightly hazy, deep, burnt orange color. The nose is assertively orange-focused with scents of both orange peel and flesh on a backdrop of sweet Rhum. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a bold orange-dominated core with vibrant spicy accents redolent of candied ginger with hints of black pepper as the Rhum Agricole flavor rises on the finish. Full-bodied with ideal balance thanks to bright acidity and spicy orange. The uses in cocktails are endless. $29.95 – 4.5 Stars
Capel Premium Pisco
Brilliant, crystal clear. Very floral with sweet tropical fruits filling the nose with accents of pepper. The palate confirms the nose delivering a sweet and fruity core that becomes drier on the finish with trailing grape, pepper, and sandalwood notes. Medium-bodied and a bit flabby with a viscous core and subtle citrus acid accents. $19.99 – 3 Stars
