Butterscotch. Licorice at the nose. Low proof. Malt Finish made my throat scratchy - not sure why Taste like a scotch but Iโ€™m probably wrong haha.

Smells like a smokey boy. Surprisingly mild on the very front, but blossoms into a lovely peaty beauty. If this isn't Islay, I'll be shocked. You cheeky devils wouldn't do a 3rd Bruichladdich bottle in one year, would you?

Peaty delicious scotch. I loved my watch trying to drink this while not being able to handle the peat. Smoky and delicious!! Keep โ€˜em coming

Tasty juice!

I canโ€™t recall having a Japanese or Irish whiskey. I jump to the assumption when something in the calendar tastes differentโ€ฆ and I think this could be itโ€ฆ.

I still prefer bourbon, but feel really sophisticated when I'm drinking Scotch.

This is my favorite of the year!! I love it! A little lemon, a little peat, amazing scotch. Hoping some of those bourbon lovers enjoy this one.

Is this a scotch? Couldnโ€™t be, because I like it. But wait, is this real life or are we living in a simulation. What is love? Baby donโ€™t hurt me. - Scotch.

Smells like a malt, otherwise not a ton on the nose up front. Some peat on the palate for sure. Feels like a decent proof, but nothing crazy. Nice and balanced overall.

Disclaimer: I had a holiday party today so Iโ€™m like 6 drinks in. Floral to the nose. Bubble gum? Spicy, on the higher proof for a whiskey. This is definitely a sobriety test - doesnโ€™t not taste Like a bourbon or a scotch. So Iโ€™m leaning towards other or rye or Irish.

A little low proof for my taste, but the flavor is pretty good. ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ๐ŸŒ

After a long rest, I'm picking up peanut butter. Really? Surely I ate something weird. Finish lasts forever, which is pleasant, but not a ton distinctive from the nose or palate
John Boggs
I liked this one. Slow burn on the palate long after the sip. Little bit of cough syrup in there.

Perfectly acceptable but I wouldnโ€™t choose to drink this. It is a mixer. If you made it into a rusty nail, it might be passable.

Honestly canโ€™t put a finger on this one. Iโ€™m slightly confused. Granted itโ€™s been a week, but still.

Not rotgut, but not for me. I'd be prone to use this as a mixer than a sipper.

Tastes like straight-ahead bourbon. Not getting much on the nose. Feels like a decent proof though. Gets sweeter and smoother the more I sip.

I didn't love it, didn't hate it. Not sure I'd but this again, but if someone bought me a bottle, I'd still say thank you.

Scotch. If itโ€™s not, then I am hella rusty this year. I can see this one being finished in maybe bourbon cask. Low proof
