I like this, good to celebrate the last work day of the year 🙏 no earthly idea on proof but I'd probably drink this one again

Kevin Guyer

Come hang out!!

I’m gonna guess rye and I’m gonna be wrong (it’ll be bourbon) but at this point I’ve got nothing to lose and everything to gain. It’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.

Zach Bennett

What there hell is this. This is sooooo strong. It still burns. But it’s sweet. And salty? I’m lost.

I’m getting lots of vanilla on this one. Initially didn’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. 🎄⭐️🥃❤️

About to argue with the TTB about points I think I should have on this one 🙃

Yes JC!

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!

Jackie Connor

Yay glad you’re back ❤️

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!

Kevin Guyer

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...

Jackie Connor

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

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.

Not me slapping the Japanese button in a rage until it comes up on the wheel.

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

That's on me Gus.

Zach Bennett

Give me ALL of that. Could drink that with a straw it was so smooth

Quotes

Caramel, vanilla, oak, and layered rye spice. It’s robust and complex without sacrificing balance

Enjoying this one a lot, perfect timing as I try to erase the memory of buying a full case of malort for the holidays (jk we love malort in this household)

Jackie Connor

JC

🤣

Kevin Guyer

Bring. Me. Malort. ;)

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. Proof’s gotta be well above a hundo. Best of the calendar so far and it isn’t close.

Kevin Guyer

Agreed, I love this one.

Jackie Connor

JC

I’m getting notes of meh. Don’t love it or hate it. 🤔 je ne sais pas!

Kevin Guyer

'Notes of meh' is the name of my Weezer cover band.

Jackie Connor

JC

Hahaha

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Jackie I also said meh lol!

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.

Jackie Connor

JC

👍🏻🥃

Kevin Guyer

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...

Jackie Connor

JC

These photos are just the best

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

A family comedy without the family is perfect.

Colleen Beyer

Nope 👎🏻 Decent hug though … if you like hugs!

Jackie Connor

I’m getting some nice floral in this one. Liking it with a little ice. Cheers!

Zach Bennett

Yum yum in my tum tum

Quotes

Tasty, not quite a bourbon but has some characteristics. Nice way to start poker night

It’s seriously killing me how often I want to call these Japanese. The smart money is to always say scotch in these scenarios, but this time I could swear it’s Japanese. It’s not far from 80 if at all. More leather and almond than any appreciable fruit note. If someone poured me this I’d be gratedful, but I wouldn’t seek it out myself.

Jackie Connor

JC

I so wanted it to be Japanese !
