Nick Stone

Argh. Great nose and color. Fruit, melon. But scotch. Peat. Sea water. Mixed with floral and honey dew. Meh. Pass.

Nick Stone

I'm split. Great proof. Sweet palette. Crap finish. Poser scotch. Peat and brown sugar. Feels like it's trying to be a scotch friend and failing.

Nick Stone

Lack of nose.... rye? Mild flavor. Brown sugar. Clean finish. My wife lived this one.

Nick Stone

Good color. Clove. Pecan. Sugar. Hint of tobacco. Good spicey finish.

Nick Stone

Light like a breath of cold air.

Kevin Guyer

The nose on this one burned off most of my nasal hair, but it redeemed itself with a little sweet on the front and a great finish. We both felt like it could be a rye and the consensus is that we'd buy this. Good stuff. Thanks for not slipping me Fireball on day 1.

Kevin Guyer

I was told 'I hope this is cheap, well, cheap enough that I can have it regularly, but not so cheap that it makes me look uncouth.' - Getting some honey and vanilla, really dig this one.

Kevin Guyer

Love me some scotch, I really liked this one.

Kevin Guyer

Picking up some vanilla. Good stuff.

Kevin Guyer

Sip. Small choke. 'Oh god, it's a scotch', 'The peat is coating my tongue'. Me? I love it. Others? Mixed bag, but what do they know?

Kevin Guyer

Overheard at the tasting: 'I took a whiff and it made my face hot', 'The only reason you'd drink that is to get drunk', 'somewhere out there a radiator needing cleaned is crying out with every sip I take', and 'I like that it's not sweet, but &^%$!'.

Kevin Guyer

Overheard: 'Tastes like a scotch to me, not bad though'. Whatever this is it has a fairly benign scotchy-edge to it. Like it but don't love it.

Kevin Guyer

I talked my son (22) into drinking the rest of this so I didn't have to. Thin and weak. This is a whiskey that has had sand kicked in its face repeatedly.

Kevin Guyer

Like this one, hope it is cheap.

Kevin Guyer

Would not bet the farm that this is not a scotch, but it would be such a weak scotch that we learn toward not. Very hot on the nose, less so on the tail. Sam says 'Almost sweet at the beginning, then its just alcohol.' We both tend to like this.

Kevin Guyer

Sweet on the front end, sort of a brown sugar, bitter on the back.

Kevin Guyer

I like scotch. I really like scotch. Tasting this scotch made me sad. It's like learning that a corgi mauled an old lady, changing how you think of corgis and making you suspicious of them all from that point forward. I feel like I can't trust scotch now that I've tasted this travesty.

Kevin Guyer

Like this one. Would buy.

Johan Martinez

I will take this one on the rocks every time. Much stronger than I remember from last year. My pallet definitely needs refining/retraining. Aside from the spice, hard to get the other taste notes

Johan Martinez

Definitely tastes familiar. Proof doesn't seem high.

Johan Martinez

Citrus and fruity to the nose. Definitely not a bourbon/Tennessee.

Johan Martinez

Sweet to nose - may hints of apple. Spicy to taste - maybe cinnamon or nutmeg Don't really get an oaky taste to this one so hard to vote bourbon... May be a Scotch finished in bourbon barrels.

Johan Martinez

Apple to nose. Licorice to the taste. I was hoping for a bourbon on my birthday today but I think this has to be a scotch.

Johan Martinez

Midnight cap today :) Cinnamon and spices This one is hard for me to get nose and taste from it. Even smelling coffee between sips.
