Today I tried various cocktails.
I started with a "Penicillin." What a treat! The smooth, honey-lemon flavor is perfectly complemented by the peaty taste of Aila whisky. It's easy to drink and enjoyable; the combination is excellent. Considering the volume, it's great for long stays at the bar, as long as the ice doesn't melt, otherwise it will be too weak. 8.5/10
Then I had a "Russian Hound," mixed exclusively for me. Also great. They mixed lemon juice and vodka in roughly equal proportions and added a little more Tabasco than usual (8 drops instead of the usual 5-7). The result was excellent: the vodka is barely noticeable, the spiciness is very pronounced, and the "burn" lingers for a long time. I'll definitely order it again. 9/10
I finished with an "Old Fashioned." Not bad, but not quite my thing. The taste is neutral. It's hard to find the right balance; initially, it's a bit harsh, then it becomes too sweet. It's better than "El Presidente," but I doubt I'll be drinking it often or in large quantities. Although some of the bar's patrons drink it glass after glass. 7.5/10
I also tried Jack Daniel's. Not good. It seems to be designed for people who mix bourbon with cola. On its own, the taste is completely bland, even worse than Jim Beam. 5/10
