Notes

No heavy on the nose, but hot on the finish. Really light color, not full flavored.

sweet, hot finish, smell and taste of carmel

Another good one. Vanilla maybe. I’d drink this one again

Well, based on the previous assessment I am comfortable with the fact that I clearly know nothing about brown liquor, but we like this one. Thought we got hints of peat, but it smells and tastes more like a bourbon. I'd buy this.

This one tastes like it's got something adding sweetness like chocolate flavored Hawaiian Punch. Digging it.

This feels like a wild guess for day 2 but I think this might be a chocolate malt scotch. Reminds me of the Glenmorangie Signet.

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

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

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

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.

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

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.
