Whoo. This thing is hot hot hot. Has some of the traditional caramel notes of a bourbon, but extra spicy. Is it a rye?? Without spearmint?

Solid caramel taste, and then burn punches you in the face. This is delicious, would totally drink again.

Iโ€™m gonna guess rye and Iโ€™m gonna be wrong (itโ€™ll be bourbon) but at this point Iโ€™ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. Itโ€™s a spicy one, but fruity at the same time, like chasing Red Hots with Mike & Ikes. Yeah, cinnamon, caramel, maybe a hint of orange rind. Quite good, if a tad spiky to be a favorite.

What there hell is this. This is sooooo strong. It still burns. But itโ€™s sweet. And salty? Iโ€™m lost.

Iโ€™m getting lots of vanilla on this one. Initially didnโ€™t love it, but getting it a little colder helped it a lot for me. A little Amy Grant Christmas album + this is not a bad time. ๐ŸŽ„โญ๏ธ๐Ÿฅƒโค๏ธ

Number 3 of the night. It's only been about 45 minutes. Is it a bourbon? It has such a cozy burn. But there's a hint of sweet. Is it an Irish then? Also - it is the start of Winter break for the kids! Cheers to this awesome calendar. I'll be looking forward to this every year! Santa comes early for mom and dad!

Syrup! Butter! Rye?! I'd drink this with my pancakes. Very heavy. I don't know what else to say.

Very floral, reminds me of scotch, has hints of plaid. Don't ask me why I think that's a flavor. Back at it after a week of kiddo illness and travel. I've got 4 of these to do tonight!

She did not like this at all, so I got a double share. Tastes like peat and self-loathing, so I'm not sure I came out ahead here...

I had some tequila before this so I feel like I have no idea. Oh wait thatโ€™s my usual feeling on this! Either way Im having fun. Iโ€™m getting some fruit after adding a little ice. How are we already at the end of row three?! ๐Ÿฅƒ

Here we are, 75% of the way through. This year I believe I've been born anew Scotch are no longer smoky and gross. This year perhaps they are the whiskey I have enjoyed the most. Day 18, what do we say? What's for dessert after my glass of dinner Cabernet? That is a bourbon and my it's damn good. As the kids say this is an assignment that JK understood. Sam-I-am there is no mystery to what we think. This is an excellent dram, I would always love to drink. Six more days until this year is done. I hope everyone is having a lot of fun.

Just gonna say I get not publishing the distribution of types, but if there are types in the list that arenโ€™t in the calendar, Iโ€™m gonna be a grumpy Gus.

Ooh, big big cinnamon up front on the palate, reminiscent of the ECBP. Nose is pretty tight, mostly that old furniture varnish vibe. Getting some more apple and honey on the palate now. This is a lovely lovely dram. Proofโ€™s gotta be well above a hundo. Best of the calendar so far and it isnโ€™t close.

Scotches everyday! My palate is feeling abused. After my first sniff of this one, I am very confused. At least the scotches are easy to guess For everything else I'm just giving it my best. My first taste, well it's got a bit of a punch Perhaps this is a rye, is my first hunch. But JK said of bourbons, there are the most. Lock in the guess and through this game, you will coast. But back to whiskey at hand, Sam-I-am. I will say it's a fine little dram. I don't love the smell, but it's really about the taste. This certainly is not a pour to waste.

I think this is my favorite so far this season. I hope it's garbage whiskey and super cheap. If so I might just go full Randy Quaid this holiday season...
