Quotes

Easy drinking, a little medicinal

Quotes

Strong candy smell on the nose. Light and easy drinking with some subtle light fruit flavors. The pour and taste made me want to guess other. But... in the advent calendar when you're not sure just guess bourbon.

Quotes

Feel the burn... it is strong and I love it. I get notes of cherries, caramel and spice. If you let it sit in your mouth, you can get a feeling for the high proof of this bourbon. Great start to the advent calendar.

Quotes

Final sip, I swear i tasted 24 but must have screwed it up. Super tasty, great finish to the calendar. Nutty bourbon

Quotes

It's good, but I really just get flavors of dark fruits and ethanol.

Quotes

Delicious scotch. More peat than smoke. I love it.

Quotes

This is tough to drink. I feel like it's a bourbon in a rum cask and pretty strong.

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: '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

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.

Kevin Guyer

Feedback I got was 'spicy'. Strong alcohol taste and some peat. Not bad.

Kevin Guyer

Torn if this is a bourbon or other, we're guessing other. Hot on the nose, paired exceptionally with chocolate I accidentally ate while this all went down. Overall though we didn't hate it though there was something odd on the backend.

Kevin Guyer

Are you trying to make me not like scotch? I thought my wife was gonna hit me for making her taste it.

Kevin Guyer

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

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

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

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

Love me some scotch, I really liked this one.

Pretty good and I get that nice sting. Fades kind of fast, but otherwise good.
