Nose – cherry, wicker, baking spice. Palate – smooth front, spicy mid, caramel finish. Pick up more wood notes on the nose after the first sip.

John Boggs

I struggled differentiating this one. The nose was pleasant and sweet. The sweetness of the nose did not extend to the flavor. Enjoyed it.

Zach Bennett

I can’t put my finger on this one but I am a fan.

Johan Martinez

Burns the nose hairs at smell. Taste cinnamon for sure Finish is spice

First whiff: notes of maple syrup but don't think it's Canadian, thinking it's a bourbon Second whiff: less convinced it's a bourbon and realizing it's going to be another year where my thumb gets sore scrolling the leaderboard to find my name First taste: its light, not complex but I like it, clearly exposing my unsophisticated palate? palette? pallet? Second taste: I think this would be best served neat, over rocks would water down too quickly, has to be a lower proof Let's go with $43 for a fifth?

I get a licorice and medicinal taste. A bit of heat, don’t know what it is….

Sweet delicious bourbon done really well. This is one of my favorite bourbons and I was so happy to see it get the recognition it deserves last year. It’s as good as I remember.

Johan Martinez

Trying to shake of the rust here. Apple hints to the nose Licorice to taste but smooth. Not a neat drinker but this one is a nice neat. I’ve didn’t open flavors much

Kevin Guyer

Overheard: 'If this is a bourbon, it is not a good one.', 'Oh god, it burned my nose hairs off, come look.', 'Not bad, but I don't think I'd buy it.', 'I don't know what the hell this is, but I know it isn't scotch.'

What a way to kick the calendar off. This is fantastic. Really smooth and tasty. I would for sure buy this.

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

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

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.

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.

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

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

Straight down the middle but with a bit more smoke.

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.

Not getting a lot on the nose, but really liked the leathery taste mixed with some sweetness. Reminded me of an old dude in a velvet sweater smoking a pipe. You know he's got stories and was likely famous in his day, but when you're chatting with him, he's only interested in listening to your take on politics, relationships and commiserating about not getting those Taylor Swift tickets. "Damn Ticketmaster", he says with a smirk. You share a laugh and then you part ways knowing you'll never see each other again. Or will you...

I like coffee and whiskey, but not sure I love this and not sure I hate it. That said, I think you're doing it wrong if you're not mixing it with Irish cream.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

This is a good Scotch, a little thin, but not too much. Getting apples and other scotchy things. Not at all offensive to the palate.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Like it and tastes like a good budget bourbon. The smell is solid, the palate is pretty good too, but the finish almost tastes medicinal.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Smells like a unique hard cider. Getting a little more oak and leather on the palate. The finish really lingers. Loving this one.
