Oh man. Brown sugar. Caramel. Maybe some like spiced orange. That's delightful. A fitting send-off to another great Whiskey Advent.

Zach Bennett

Thank you so much to JK for putting this on and thanks to everyone else who contributed. This whole thing is incredible. What a year. Already excited for the next.

Wow. This one holds back on the sweetness until the end. Kind of like me.

Save the best for last! Spicy like a rye with some good heat. Thanks Cory for an incredible advent calendar!!

Well this one has quite the punch, doesn't it? I like it a lot. Tons of tropical fruit, vanilla and a ton of heat. If it were dialed down just a touch, it'd be almost perfect.

Johan Martinez

It’s Christmas Eve Eve (Friends reference)! Cinnamon spice, honey. Higher proof. Nice finish but I definitely would sip on a nice big ice ball

It's brown sugar and brown butter and cherries, but hinting at red apple and pear. Just massively dense. I should probably add water but I don't want to.

Pretty solid fruity flavors. I like it, but kind of right down the middle. Not sticking out which isn't necessarily bad. If the price is right, this could a nice house Scotch.

Big fan of the chocolatey notes in this one. I'd have to be in a certain mode and not one I'd drink everyday.

Quotes

A hot, spicy delicious bourbon

Zach Bennett

This is fantastic. Strong. But really good. Send me a bottle of whatever this is

Johan Martinez

Apple, lemon. Spicy and licorice but short finish. Like a smoky scotch. Not a huge fan beat -

Johan Martinez

Spice spice baby! Maple smells Not a bourbon in my mind but I am a bit perched from the gym. I actually enjoy this one on ice

Really fruity nose. Smells like a malt. Light peat maybe. Fruit up front. Little black pepper on the finish.

Scotch in a bourbon barrel

Chad Wiley

Smooth tasting scotch, which scares me because I didn’t think I liked scotch…

Derek Glunz

Quotes

I love it, soft easy drinking scotch probably aged in a bourbon cask

The nose is pretty tight up front, but it smells like malt. Front palate is pretty simple shortbread vibes, but it opens up in the middle and the finish into orchard fruits. Lovely and composed. Feels full bodied but not overly burn-y. I'm thinking Japanese.

John Boggs

I just keep walking the proof down the more I drink it. Not sure if that will work out for me.

Zach Bennett

It doesn’t get much easier to drink than this. Delicious

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

I'm digging this one. Chocolate, sweet fruit, but singing like a scotch. Pretty pretty pretty good.

Johan Martinez

On the higher proof range. Nose is not working today. This might be the darkest scotch I’ve had in a while? Def don’t get the bourbon but maybe finished in oak barrels. I don’t hate it and I don’t love it - it’s like Thursday Night Football. You watch it because there’s nothing else to watch 🥹

Dan Sembler

This one's interesting ... dark in color like a bourbon, but none of the taste profile. Getting peanuts and toffee on the palate. Pretty short finish
