Got notes of orange up front, then some fennel/herbal notes on the palate. Really like this one but confounded as to what type it is.

This tastes like tequila (?). Aged in tequila barrels maybe? I like an aรฑejo tequila, but this is not my bag.

Great nose on this, getting vanilla and maple syrup. Pretty popular with the family tasting committee.

I don't know if I just really want some cake right now, but this smells and tastes like literal cake and icing to me. Love it.

Fairly hot. Itโ€™s got some tongue pinching astringency and some baking spice notes. Iโ€™ve played myself so many times looking for a rye, but thereโ€™s not a ton of fruit here. No telltale cherry note.

Seems like a scotch, would not bet the PlayStation on that though. Smooth finish, I like it.

What is this heavenly nectar. Delicious. Got a nice little burn there on the end to.

The color on this one is kind of crazy. Super light. But a lot of flavor. Very tasty.

Light, Smokey and smooth. Looks like a Japanese whiskey but the smoke confuses me.

I got another hunch here. Itโ€™s malt, but I donโ€™t think itโ€™s scotch. Is the the Yamazaki 12? Do I detect a hint of Mizunara oak?

Smells Irish. Tastes Irish. Dried apricots, melon, oak. It's a breakfast whiskey for sure. Reminds me of Teelings small batch.

Smells like a decent scotch, tastes like a bunch of fruity stuff, and lingers forever. Not bad. Not bad at all.

I always wanted to use winter fruit in a tasting note. So here it is. Smell has hint of winter fruit, sweet and spicey. Front end is peppery with loads of rye - as does the finish. Some heat in there so decently high proof. I like this one. Good color. And winter fruit....

Getting some brown sugar/sweet on the front end, got me thinking it's a bourbon. It comes on hot and harsh, I like it but may not have to share it with the family if I pick some up. They were digging it less.

Ok now this is fantastic. Easily my favorite so far. Great drink. I would buy this.

Baking spices and dried fruits on the nose. Possibly a cherry note as I dig in. WOW that's hot. Lots of flavor though. Orchard fruits. Deep, rich caramel. Could this be? Did someone throw a Stagg Jr in here?

Batch strength for sure. Notes of cherries, brown sugar and a little nutty. Just delicious. Filled with complex flavors that I canโ€™t put my finger in.

Merry Christmas one and all. This stuff goes down slow and tastes like chocolate ๐Ÿซ covered ๐Ÿ’ with a touch of honey.

I like this a lot. My family did not, biting comments such as 'tastes like I aimed spray adhesive at my mouth instead of some garbage craft project' were thrown at me. Heathens. Peatey (sp?) and delicious.

Another enjoyable one here. Getting some cherry in there. Iโ€™d drink that again

I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes down. Down into my belly.

Think I got spoiled on this one, but I hope I'd get at least the style without help. It's definitely Islay scotch, on the subtle side with the smoke by Islay standards.

Smokey, peaty scotch. Crazy how dark & red this is in the glass. Itโ€™s really smooth, but not my favorite.

I had to let this one sit out for a bit and it got better when every sip. Getting some apples all the way throughout.
