'Twas the night of the fifteenth tasting, and as I look through the glass, Every swirl and each sip brought new flavors to pass. My first whiff was a symphony, welcoming in, For vanilla and wood is where the notes did begin. On the palate it danced, not quite as it seemed, For the taste wasn't quite where the aroma had me dream. Yet there was charm in the difference, a twist in the tale, A flavor adventure that begged to set sail. So I ponder, I sip, in the amber's embrace, Wondering, "Is this our first other?" in this whiskey chase.

Dark fruits, sweet but not too sweet. Strong but not overpowering. Favorite of the calendar!!

I really like this one. The finish is unlike anything I've had. It almost tastes like a Christmas tree...without the risk of swallowing the needles.

Quotes

Spicy and delicious bourbon… nice sweetness… keeps getting better

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in my glass clear, A whiskey that whispered of good holiday cheer. With a nose hinting maple, and honey, a touch, A warmth from the spirits, though not overly much. On tasting it wheaty, a grainy delight, Yet on balance it stayed just an average bite. No twinkling stars, no fantastical tale, But comfort it brought in its simplicity scale As I took a small sip, it was wheaty and neat, This average whiskey's flavor was discreet. By the fire we sat, in the soft candlelight, Toasting our glasses to a calm winter night

'Twas the night of the thirteenth tasting, and all through the night, Each dram was evaluated by palate and sight. But one pour was puzzling, as baffling as can be, A mystery to solve, perhaps only for me. It smelled faintly of wheat, but then what more to find? No other scents registered, left me so blind. Then came the tasting, oh what a dread, The flavor was awful, just as I said. In a twist of fate, others might think it divine, But this whiskey's for them, not for this tongue of mine. So cheers to the nights, and the tastings we seek, For every bad dram, a new favorite we meet!

'Twas the night of the twelfth tasting, and all through the air, Came scents that were hot, hot, hot—none to compare. A young whiskey, perhaps, or high proof, maybe both? A complex aroma that teased like an oath. With a taste smooth and smoky, like a fine Scotch allure, Each sip was a marvel, each note so pure. A sweet finish lingered, oh what a delight, I dreamt of a bottle on that cold winter's night. The magic of whiskey, like Christmas so near, Brings warmth to the soul and holiday cheer. So, raise a glass high, to flavors refined, For a dram so exquisite, truly one of a kind.

This one seems young and all over the place. Speaking of, happy birthday to my son Reece!

Really wanted to like this, but I just don't. Tasting those apples though.

Quotes

Cherries and Licorice, pretty smooth going down

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Nothing to write home about. Not offensive, but if I remember correctly, it's kind of forgettable.

Kevin Guyer

Like this a lot, notes of cherry? Would buy.

Zach Bennett

I have no idea what this is

Quotes

Tasty scotch but doesn’t blow me away

Zach Bennett

Pretty scotchy but not that scotchy I guess

Sam Kube

'Twas the night of the eleventh tasting, I sat holding my glass, thinking about yesterdays whiskey and feeling a bit crass. The first few whiffs, a delight to behold, Maple syrup, perhaps cherry, a tale to be told. But as I sipped slowly, with great expectation, The taste didn’t match up, what a consternation. For the smell was enticing, a heavenly brew, Yet the flavor was average, making my Christmas blue. A Tennessee whiskey, with charm in the nose, But the taste left me pondering, just how it goes. So here’s to the bottle, though not quite the best, May tomorrow whiskey be better, and hopefully I have a good guess.

Zach Bennett

Real nice drink. Smooth and sweet finish

Sam Kube

'Twas the night of the tenth tasting, in a room softly lit, A glass of whiskey, waiting where I decided to sit. The nose was elusive, not much did it show, Just a wisp of light smoke, in the faint evening glow. A sip on my tongue, I channeled Ron’s cheer, "Scotch scotch scotchy scotch," but love wasn't near. Mellow and smooth, for a scotch it was tame, I'd drink down a glass or two, though not with much acclaim. It danced on my palate, with a decent embrace, But it wouldn't be winning the top of my taste. Yet there in the quiet, with night closing in, A sip of this scotch made for a restful evening in.

Quotes

Light, floral, delicious dram. Is it Japanese or am I just overthinking it. Either way, I am enjoying it. Love this advent calendar!!

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Kind of tastes like grass and dew. Not my thing.

Kevin Guyer

Gotta be a scotch or I'm a bigger moron than she says I am. We both like this one, Sam exclaimed 'oh god, do I like scotch now?!?' (though she denies it, in her heart she does, she'll come around)
