I dig it. Is it a bourbon? Is it a rye? Quit playing with me.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Ok fine! I like it. Are you happy???? I like this Scotch and I'm done pretending. Get that smug look off your face and just let me enjoy these last couple sips.

Is it just this classy courtyard Marriott or do I actually like this one. Getting fruity but also some caramel? Shout out to this Marriott for having a cut glass to drink from. Do you spy my festive advent swag? 🤣

Dan Sembler

Simple, straight forward. Not complex, suggest lighter proof, but refreshing (is that possible for whiskey?)

Chad Wiley

Not much to this one…

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Every December, my Company hosts an annual sales meeting. My co-worker and I both enjoy whiskey and share the advent calendar. Smooth, easy drinking Scotch. Not too peaty or smokey. A little caramel sweetness on it.

Really you snuck in Jim Beam? JK is turning this whole thing into a meme. Calm down, it was only one night. Don't let JK ruin this for you, try as he might. Today's whiskey, there really isn't much there However, there is another whiskey this one does compare I'm getting deja vu of day four Is this another Irish we are about to explore? Day eight is done Sam-I-am To be honest this was a "meh" dram Scotch or Irish, I'll never get it right But here's promising Sam-I-am will continue to fight

Zach Bennett

I’d drink this again

Very fruity aroma. Is today a trick too? I don't know how to make these guesses. I lost my trust in the system. This is delightfully spicy and warm. It's so light and airy.

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

It's a scotch?! What?! I hate scotch and love this!

Kelsey Harkins

Team Harkins

That's exactly the reaction at our house too!

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

I'm telling you, scotch has wormed it's way into my life. Like that annoying guy that won't take no for an answer and finally gets a first date....

Colleen Beyer

Same McK!!!

Exactly my reaction McKenna!!

Vaguely standard malted barley notes on the nose, but just enough weirdness to encourage me to talk myself into a stupid guess on type. The palate is talking me off the ledge and back into the straight ahead scotch play. Green apple and a hint of iodine maybe. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing exceptional either. Nice long finish. Eminently drinkable. Great company for being snowed in.

Kevin Guyer

It is scotch? Is it Irish? Are you messing with my head again? What is even happening? Dammit. Confused about the style, certainly. Confused that we like it enough to drink it again, not at all. Would buy. "It's all for nothing if you don't have whiskey." - William Wallace (probably)

Mah eed! It's uuge! Like Sputnik!

It’s got its own weather system! That was a bit offside, eh? ‘E’ll be cryin’ ‘imself tah sleep t’night on thah ‘uge pillah!

Dan Sembler

Old shoe leather, smell and taste. Not a fan.

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

Smoky, with a hint of pipe smell and tobacco cabinet flavor. This has to be a rye. I taste no sweetness but do smell a honey with a corn after taste. I'm not a big fan but my husband says it's tasty.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Smelled great, tasted terrible. Bland, watery, and more of a drink that primates would enjoy because they don't know any better.

Jackie Connor

JC

I’m getting dirt and alcohol. My high school mascot was a golden sandstorm and one of our little cheers was “the dirt that hurts”. Seems appropriate here. 🌪️. Cheers!

Your boy is back in it with a big day six To get him back into the top 10 mix He says sounding a little cocky Forgetting about his start that was pretty rocky Today's pour does not have much bite It'd be an easy drinker by bonfire light Am I right in thinking this is our first Japanese? I sit and ponder staring at my Christmas trees So Sam-I-am, what do you say? As I sip watching football on this Sunday. Hoping this guess is a bullseye. But in the back of my head I'm thinking it could be a rye.

Something different about this one…guessing something I don’t have a lot of experience with for that reason. I like it though…not sure I’d seek it out but wouldn’t turn it down if offered to me…free of charge 😬

Scott Beckett

… Overall fairly muted. Feels like a decent proof, but not much character up front. I added a tiny splash of water to see if it would open up at all. I got maybe a hint of apricot but not much else. I’m thinking rye. This one feels like it has good bones, but not much flavor.

Colleen Beyer

No bueno

Kevin Guyer

'It just is'. Not bad, not outstanding.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Smooth bourbon not very complex. It did pair very well with a cigar.

Jackie Connor

JC

Ugh - I don't know what this is!! Getting some floral, but I don't know. Also something about it I don't love - ?? What even. Pairing with some Christmas music to add more joy : )

Chad Wiley

Hot tamale hot!!

Jackie Connor

JC

He’s back! 🙌🏻🥃

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

Leaves a good chew on the tongue. Peaty. Maple and spices. This could be a trick though and end up being Japanese.
