From the strength (122 proof, ~61% ABV), I kind of expected Uncle John's Cut to taste a little like Bacardi 151. It does not. Due to being made from sugarcane juice instead of molasses, and the fact that it's not spiced or wood aged, Uncle John's Cut offers an agricultural profile reminiscent of cured grass in late summer, very like a rhum agricole.

Tumalo Cider Co. makes the best semi-dry ciders I’ve had in the US. I’d rank McMenamin’s ciders second. Since the Tumalo Cider Co. tasting room is one of my favorite spots in Central Oregon, I caught up with the owner, Jeff Bennet, for a chat on a sunny Saturday this spring.
