Notes

I’m likely wrong, I doubt my taste and my nose…this season has wrecked me. Scotch…bourbon…rye?!!? I don’t know but I like it!

Getting some scotch vibes but not some great scotch vibes. Not quite a Cutty Sark, but maybe some Cutty. Are there other Cuttys?

Here we are with Day 22 To my new love, Scotch, this is an ode to you. I am sorry for the hurtful words of the past But you were patient with me, you knew the hate wouldn't last. I have graduated, or so says JK Thank you this year contributors for finally showing me the way. Peaty, smoky, sweet, I love you all Each selection this year, more in love you have made me fall It goes without saying what you think Sam-I-am This is another delicious scotchy dram But what if this is another JK trick Click submit and you'll find out real quick

Don’t love this one. I’m not sure what it is. My bestest nephew dog Otto had fun sniffing the bottle.

I’m gonna call this rye cuz it’s got a fair bit of spice and not a ton of sweetness up front. It’s got that tongue pinch factor going. Kind of a funky nose unless I just didn’t rinse my glencairn properly. Fair bit of proof to it. It’s a little perfumey, a little varnish-y. It’s not off-putting, but it’s not my favorite either.

Delicious bourbon, smooth, the right heat and sweet. Enjoyed with a cigar while watching Miracle on 34th street. This was another miracle!

Blehhhhh

I have no words tonight. Hints of cherry? Does my oldest have the flu? Whiskey take me away.

This is good, but lives in yesterday's shadow. Could be a good whiskey to have on hand.

Dark fruits, cinnamon, spice and heat… wow this packs a punch

Well day number twenty and I drink this one sad. It's halftime for JMU and they are doing quite bad. The ducks are looking unstoppable. A comeback is looking anything but possible. But back to the whiskey to make me glad. Hopefully something to take me back to when I was an undergrad. I am getting quite a bit of cherry. I'm not so sure this one is going to change my mood to merry. Sam-I-am, we're nearing the big day. You are stumbling through less to compete than just play. This one confuses me, I have not a clue. So let's go ahead and plug bourbon, yep that'll do.

Woof. Another REALLY hot one, but this whiskey is a hit, we both LOVE this one. Style-wise, who freaking knows. I feel like it is a bourbon, but I might get scammed with another 'other' so we'll just roll the dice. A real standout of the month though, this is a great whiskey.

Really like the smell of this one, burns a little on its way down but I suspect I'm liking it more than KG/SG. Guessing bourbon because it's safe (and I'll contest any more "others"). Go pack go!!

Woah. Big apricot front end. Plenty proof. Lots of baking spice. The nose isn’t giving much more than dusty hay and furniture varnish, but the palate is a flavor bomb. This one’s almost too intense to enjoy. I feel like it wants water but I’m trying to get a handle on the proof for the form. There’s a lot of golden raisin happening. I feel like we’re going into the last row of the box like the finale of a fireworks show.

On first smell I’m getting sweet and a lot of alcohol. I don’t know what guess anymore. Lots of fire. Also sharing this outtake from my family Christmas card card in the mid 90s that my mom shared with me this week. Can’t imagine why this didn’t make the card. What says Christmas more than posing with your sister on the trampoline in your church clothes in your backyard in the Texas panhandle. 🤣cheers!

Ouchy mommy

Nasty licorice flavor. Very light smell. I'm out of guesses. Strange flavor here. Lingers on the palate in a thick, odd uncomfortable feeling.

Warm, caramel notes. Intense spice and burn. I just read the guesses out loud in order on the page. My kid yelled "you said 6/7!"

I’ve said it before, I’ll say it again…I like hugs! I’ve also said I suck at this…many colorful words may be said if this is a scotch!

Once again the Beyer house is split on this, clearly opposites do attract cause…. Me no likely, but Tim? “I’d buy that.” Sigh…

Did not like this one at all, the rating is to pacify my husband who “didn’t think it was bad” while I had goosebumps from it!

Quite delightful!

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.
