We had another busy week at BevX with new, tasty beverage reviews to share. This week we have Five new spirits reviews. Enjoy!
The BevX reviews are like no other. We evaluate wines, beers, and spirits breaking down elements of appearance, aroma, flavor, texture and intensity as well the product’s “cool factor” and value. We also offer analysis on the creation of the beverage as well as any interesting points that make it unique. Finally we offer suggestion on how to enjoy the beverage including pairing and cocktail suggestions.
As always you see all of our reviews here:

Spirits
Suerte Blanco, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is wonderfully rich and complex offering sweet agave notes with loads of citrus ranging from lime and lemon juice to zest with hints of salt and sweet herbs. The palate echoes the nose offering a generous agave fruit core with vibrant citrus accents and hints of mineral and a soft salinity. Full bodied and rich without being cloying in the slightest offering a bright dose of balancing acidity.

Suerte Reposado, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, very pale straw color. The aromatics are complex and generous featuring sweet agave with accents of butterscotch, nutmeg, and vanilla bean with hints of red fruits and lime concentrate. The palate is in full agreement with the nose delivering a rich and silky sweet agave core with flanking notes of delicate oak and spice. Full bodied without being cloying in the slightest offering a bright dose of balancing acidity and subtle oak notes.

Suerte Añejo, 100% Agave Tequila
Brilliant, golden straw color. The nose reveals a big Tequila with intense wood influence offering scents of rich milk chocolate, sweet red fruit, and charred oak with hints of vanilla cream and allspice. The palate confirms the nose delivering dense and rich, oak-soaked core with loads of brown baking spice, cocoa nibs, and subtle accents of cassis with sweet agave rising on the finish. Full-bodied and absolutely decadent while maintaining a respectable balance with subtle citrus accents.

Warship Reserved Black Strap Rum
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is very aromatic redolent of old-style Caribbean Rums with a wild scents of blackstrap molasses, grass, balsa wood, and licorice with supporting notes of raw coconut and dried coconut husks. The palate echoes the nose delivering a dry, molasses-driven core with waves of spice and grassy accents that finish crisp with a bright dose of acidity. Medium-bodied and very vibrant with a great balance of tamed, raw flavors that are perfectly balanced with a bright dose of acidity.

Purus Vodka
Brilliant, crystal clear. The nose is ultra clean and pure with scents of wet river stones and white peach supported by notes of rising bread dough, blanched almonds, and poached pears. The palate confirms the nose delivering a silky mineral and fruit-driven core with flanking notes of mineral and citrus with long and lingering hints of stone fruits. Medium-bodied with a round center and plenty of crisp acidity to keep it fresh and inviting.
