Megan, Chris and Henry of KTLA Los Angeles "Off The Clock" News Magazine review Filmland Spirits
American Whiskey Magazine logo
“Heady nose on the forefront that teases, and delivers, flirtatious flavors… 9/10” – Peggy Noe Stevens. “An elegant sip that is completely enjoyable neat…9/10” – Susan Reigler

“Filmland Spirits Quadraforce is a value that shines. This unique blend of four bourbons and moderate price point makes this a high-value expression. Scanning the bottle’s QR code, enjoying a sip while you watch the accompanying story serves to enhance the experience. Well done, Filmland, very well done indeed!”

“Holy Moonlight Mayhem! There is a lot of flavor in this bad boy! It tastes like I’m drinking something that is at least 12 years old.”
Whiskey & Horror logo
"We here at Whiskey & Horror have embraced a brand that pays homage to film in a way that is both nostalgic and modern, and we continue to be blown away by both the style and elevated flavor of Filmland Spirits."
The Pitch Logo
"I would say this offering is even more true to the core of who Filmland is than any of their previous releases. 'Stories you can drink' is their calling card, and this story, being told in the bottle through four characters, couldn’t resonate with that more."
FoodSided Logo
"The bourbon blend offers a never-ending story of aroma and taste. Each component does not need to be parsed instead it is meant to appreciate how the harmony makes for a more enjoyable sip."
Breaking Bourbon Logo
"There’s no doubt that Filmland Spirits has some of the best bottle and label designs in the business. Capturing the spirit of adventure with each release nicely mirrors what’s in the bottle. For their Quadraforce release, that is especially true."
Sips Suds & Smokes Logo
"I love the tagline on this, 'Serve the Drinks, Save the World.' Don’t know what you can say after that. There isn’t anything I could tell them to do better. If one comes in my house, I’m drinking it and sharing it."
Wine Enthusiast Logo
Wine Enthusiast Magazine scores Town at the End of Tomorrow a 93 -- Excellent. "Aged nine years, this bourbon has a caramel aroma and relatively dry palate, with hints of leather and red fruit. Adding water brings out tones suggesting toasted almond, vanilla cookie and a faint peanut butter hint."
Coming Whiskey Logo
"The movie marketing is loads of fun, but the bourbon is legitimately good. Filmland Spirits is rather good at blending… and I think you’ll agree."
Drink the Bottles Reviews Moonlight Mayhem!
Whiskey Advocate Logo
Filmland Spirits Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut scores a 92! "This whiskey does a fine job holding its proof, and with water, the finish is flush with fruitier notes, plus a bit of chocolate and black coffee."
Breaking Bourbon logo
"Being a 9 year old 94 proof Kentucky distilled bourbon sets Town at the End of Tomorrow up against many bourbons with similar specifications. Elijah Craig Small Batch, Russell’s Reserve 10 Year, and Buffalo Trace Bourbon are just a few of those that lay down similar stats. However, Town at the End of Tomorrow is just a bit more well-executed than each of those whiskeys."
Pitch Logo
"If Filmland Spirits keeps this up, they are on their way to building a dynasty. Of all the whiskey I have tried, and all the whiskey I own, there have been only five or six bottles I found myself wanting to smell as much as drink, and Ryes of the Robots is one of them."

Whiskey & Horror logo
"I reviewed two Filmland Spirits for Whiskey Wash last year but Moonlight Mayhem! is by far my favorite to date. Superb for the price range, it is a strong spirit with a clear voice."
FoodSided Logo
"From the bourbon drinker looking to add another option to their collection or the movie buff who is looking to expand their liquor cabinet, Moonlight Mayhem is a great choice. The label might reference a B Movie genre, but the golden liquor in the bottle is A+."
The Pitch Logo
"Filmland Spirits delivers on the inside while knocking it out of the park on the outside."
CNN Logo
"When these gorgeous bottles landed on my desk, I couldn’t wait to crack them open. And I am happy to report that both the small batch rye and bourbon taste just as good mixed in an Old Fashioned as they do sipped on ice."
Gayot Logo
"Instead of winning Oscars, the whiskey company has been reeling in competition honors, including this small batch straight bourbon whiskey’s Double Gold at the 2023 San Francisco Spirits Competition."

"There’s nothing gimmicky about these whiskies and we can see why all Filmland’s whiskies have won Gold Medals or higher. The recipe below features Moonlight Mayhem! Extended Cut Cask Strength Straight Bourbon. Despite warring robots, biting werewolves and time travel, romance romps throughout and it’s exactly the right way to celebrate Valentine’s Day!"

KTLA Off the Clock Reviews Filmland Spirits
The Whiskey Wash Logo
“Filmland Spirits is something special, a brand of whiskey that isn’t just a gimmick, but a thoroughly thought-out experiment in blending passions. Film and whiskey just go together perfectly! ‘Ryes of the Robots Extended Cut’ is a wonderful rye whiskey, and I’m excited to enjoy it with some orange-infused simple syrup and orange bitters for a tasty Old Fashioned and a fun classic sci-fi film.”
Whiskey Wash Logo
“’The Town at the End of Tomorrow’ isn’t just an exciting story, it’s a truly delicious bourbon. I personally love everything about Filmland Spirits. It’s a strong bonus that I find the whiskey so well-balanced and tasty, because even if I didn’t, I would support such a creative and exciting concept. The artwork of the label, the appealing aesthetic of the heavy bottle, the immersive nature of the marketing campaign – everything hits the spot for this whiskey and cinema lover.”
UPROXX
"The Best Whiskeys We Tasted At The 2023 Kentucky Bourbon Festival... Beautifully designed release… A great a great straightforward rye pour!"
Chilled Logo
"Blowing away today’s packaging standard, Filmland’s finished product exhibits their original B-Movie concepts, complete with monsters, robots, and over-the-top plots. Rivaling the outlandish nature of these retro-inspired films is the lineup of delicious whiskies they’re paired with."
Paste Magazine Logo
"You can certainly suss out that this is high-rye bourbon, and overall it’s a bit on the sweet side, with lots of dark brown sugar, pairing nicely with flamed orange and espresso roast. It would be right at home in an old fashioned."
Uproxx Logo
"This new brand blends the worlds of Hollywood B-movies and Ohio Valley whiskey-making in one brand. This is a nice start and makes me pretty excited to see where Filmland takes us next with these releases."
Medium Magazine Logo
"The Filmland team believes that every whiskey has a story and every story deserves a whiskey. The result is a wildly creative pairing of an original retro B-Movie concept, with a delicious whiskey — each of which has already won a Gold Medal."
Observer Logo
“A grown-up ghoulish drink is the perfect way to complete your Halloween spread.”
The Whiskey Lifestyle Logo
“The juice itself is quite tasty. Medium-bodied with a decent amount of char (#4) and a classic grain bill (75% corn, 21% rye and 4% malted barley), this is an easy-going bourbon. Great for highballs, but also really nice served neat.”
Pimp My Recipe Logo
“For this Maple Bourbon Cold Brew cocktail, I love this brand of small batch bourbon whiskey (Filmland Spirits Moonlight Mayhem! Bourbon).”
BourbonGuy.com Logo
“I’ve admitted to being a design snob, and sometimes,I just like to reward good artwork. That’s the case here.”
Inside Hook Logo
"We’ve seen movie-themed whiskies before...but Filmland is going the extra step of crafting entire narratives around each whiskey, with character details and trailers available on their website.”

“You did a really, really good job bringing forward some of the notes that some people don’t normally bring forward..that toffee is right there, like Werther’s Original.”

“It’s a diamond in the rough, it is that perfect point for me that is viscous and has that nice mouth feel.”
Forbes Logo
“Movie buffs will appreciate the colorful, B-movie poster styled labels and cinematically themed expressions from Filmland. Delicious, and the over-the-top label makes the bottle look great on any bar cart.”
Paste Logo
“Featuring gorgeous labels and attractively designed bottles, along with highly detailed theming that will appeal to anyone who loves cinema and B-movies in particular—that’s me, 100%.”
Men's Gear Logo
“Who doesn’t love to sip their drinks with a good movie? Although you can’t exactly bring booze inside the theater, we can enjoy films and TV shows at home. Just launch your favorite streaming service and pour a glass or more of these offerings from Filmland Spirits”

“‘A Blockbuster in Every Bottle’: This Brand-New Spirits Company is Making American Whiskey Accompanied By Movie Scripts”
Robb Report Logo
“Film nerds and whiskey nerds are both extremely opinionated about subjects that are ultimately entirely subjective and based on personal taste. So it kind of makes sense to bring the two worlds together, as Filmland Spirits has done with a trio of retro B-movie-inspired bottles.”
Film & Whiskey Logo
“Having tasted this whiskey and having talked to you about the brand and having seen the passion that you’ve put into this, I think Brad and I would both say ‘that'll do’ to both of you as well. Something tells me that this won’t our last conversation, it’s really rare that we get someone on the podcast this passionate about the things we love on here so you guys have an open invitation.”
BarleyCorn Drinks Logo
“Filmland Spirits is a brand new whiskey house dedicated to bringing together Hollywood imagery and fine American whiskeys. The result is this fun collection of whiskeys that would indeed look cool on any back bar. But we all know what’s in the bottle is most important, and Filmland’s trio of expressions does not disappoint.”
HiConsumption Logo
"If you aren’t already sure how important ethos is when constructing a quality spirit from the ground up, then just take a look at the awards Filmland’s whiskeys have racked up already, earning two gold medals and a silver medal from the San Francisco World Spirits Competition this year.”

"When it comes to whiskeys and other spirits, it can start to feel like every idea has already been done…But modeling expressions after B movies and creating associated storyboards, scripts, and trailers—that's a new one. Filmland Spirits is a new company that approaches whiskey production much like making a feature film.”
