Lots of oak and char on the nose. Fairly tight but opens up to some fruit notes after a sip. Cherries and brown sugar on the palate. First thought was a high rye bourbon.

Peated but not overly so. English leather, some tropical fruit... Talisker? Jura?

Wood, straw, and cherry on the nose. Brown sugar, spices, raisins in the palate. Fruitcake whiskey, in a good way. Tastes big but not huge. Could it be the Four Roses Small Batch Select?

It's sweet, but not simple. Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar/molasses save it from just being a syrupy sugar bomb. The proof doesn't quite sneak up on you, but it drinks easier than it ought to. Black Cherry cola for grown folk.

This one started out great. Getting baked apples and some citrus all the way through. But as I sipped it, it just felt like it was getting weaker.

Straight down the middle but with a bit more smoke.

Love that kick. Lots of cherries, almost soda like.

Getting a lot of apple juice without the sugar. Kind of OK, but that's it.

This is a harder scotch than the others. Kind of like the step dad of scotch. Your real dad is cool and loving and then your step dad comes around and tries to show you that love, but it just comes off more like an uncle who tries to get too close.

Having a hard time placing this one in anything other than vanilla flavored rubbing alcohol. I don't hate it, but the first feel on the palate is more bite than is comfortable. The finish is really nice and getting some vanilla wafer vibes. It just disappears quick.

Smells like alcohol, tastes like medicine. The finish goes quickly...and I'm kind of glad.

Banana on the nose, but it's really faint. Could also be that I have COVID.

Sour cherries for sure and a lot of oak. It's quite good. Not extraordinary, but could certainly sip on this everyday.

It's as American as apple pie except it's Scotch.

Citrus on the nose and honey on palate, oak on the finish. So so so good. For a high proof, this is super calm.

This one is pretty smooth and easy to drink. Can't put my finger on it, but it's sweet and floral.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Pure unadulterated scotch.

It's good, but something about the finish just tastes undone. A little stronger would be wonderful.

More like rubber bike tires that need to be changed. Wouldn't seek this out.

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

Definitely tastes familiar. Proof doesn't seem high.

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

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.

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.
