Notes

I'm getting a lot of tropical fruit on the finish. Pineapple, orange, mango. And then a tiny kick of spice at the very end. Smells like a scotch, but tastes like a mixed drink. Really liking it if it was just a touch higher proof.

Clearly malt. I don’t get any smoke. Honey, biscuit, orchard fruits. A little moss maybe.

Malt for sure again. Very smooth, tempting to call Irish, but there’s a hint of brine or something on the back end that makes me think Scotch. Wouldn’t be surprised if it were Japanese single malt.

This one is really good. Tastes like pop rocks and gets that tingle just right. I tried opening my mouth to hear the popping, but it just looked like I was trying to scream. Anyway, I'm getting apples, oranges and cotton candy with some spice on the back end.

Nose: Cinnamon, bubble gum, mint?

Back on my bullshit. It’s rye or corn. This time I think it’s gotta be rye. No black pepper or spice to my nose, but it’s too sharp on the tongue for bourbon, not sweet enough. Pretty hot, but a little water just brings out more herbal and earth notes.

This is like I'm on a liquid hayride with a shot of vanilla. I could see Curly from City Slickers drinking this while he's sleeping.

Too much going on, not enjoyable IMO

I accidentally filled this out last night and got a peek at the answer. I feel confident I would’ve pegged it as bourbon and hot, but I don’t know if I would’ve gone high enough on the proof to be right. I don’t think I’m threatening for the lead anyway, but I’ll take an asterisk on this one. As for the whiskey, with water, this is my favorite bourbon so far.

Hot hot hot. Loving this. Not sure what I'm getting, but it tastes like burning fo sho.

Tricky. Not malt. Doesn’t taste QUITE sweet enough for bourbon, and the finish suggests rye also, but there’s not enough spice on the nose to convince me. I'm going to switch my game up and call this maybe a bourbon with some wheat in the mashbill.

Am I finally starting to know the difference between rye and bourbon? I'm getting lemon and hay.

Malt for sure. Banana and some orchard fruit on the nose. Shortbread cookie and pear on the palate. Feels light and smooth.

Honey for sure.

The nose is a bit weak, but the flavor definitely hits hard once you take a sip. Not exactly sure what flavors I'm getting, but I like them a lot.

Malty

Once again torn between bourbon and rye. Still no black pepper to my nose. Really round and creamy, but lighter bodied than most of the other non-malts. The softness reminds me of Maker’s, though I’m not getting the big cherry hint which is usually my clue for wheat.

Very smooth, makes me think Irish but I am going rye may be pulling a Scott Beckett

Bourbon or a Rye.... Scott Beckett... I'll pick the wrong one but it's one of those two.....maybe

It's light, which I like. Almost has a refreshing feeling to it. Maybe I'll start drinking 8 glasses of this a day instead of water. I'm getting some citrus, floral and sweetness. Really nice.

WOW. Lovely on the palate. A deceptively muted nose leads to an almost shockingly fruity taste. Malt for sure. If it’s not scotch it’s a Japanese single malt.

Smooth on ice. Pretty sure it's a bourbon

Simply no

Hmmm. Definitely scotch. Getting a little 🍐 on the front. A bit of peat, but more on the sweet side.
