John McDowell

Deliciously hot. Heat covers up some of the flavor for me. Starting off the second half with a bang

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Nail polish on the nose. First read is hot and a little bit bland. Growing on me a little bit

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Ouchies.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Now we're talking. The nose is better than the sip, bit the sips are getting better each time. I might add water to see what happens, bit this is solid.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Adding water is the right call. Do it now.

Kevin Guyer

Happy birthday Reece!

Matt Eagle

Precious

Really nice nose. Lots of sweetness and honey with a bite. This is quite good. I’d be very happy to have this out at a bar or sitting around with friends.

Matt Eagle

Precious

To foot stomp, this is one of the nicest noses we’ve had in this years calendar. Makes sense having watched Hef’s video. Good pick! I’m liking this more and more as I sip this dram. I’d rate it a touch higher if I could go back.

James Hatfield

Hanky

It’s nice and hot. It’s not so easy to decide what it is.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Brown sugar and dark fruits on the nose. Mouth full of spice and some heat to go with it. A little after taste of something I don’t love

John McDowell

Worm

Not a rye fan, this is very tasty. Flavor profile is faint compared to the heat, but still delicious.

James Hatfield

Hanky

Yum. That’s is. Yum

Josh Mitchell

Why?

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Good-ish.

Matt Eagle

Precious

Solid. Very perfumey on the nose. I like it but not my favorite of the calendar so far.

Allan Maule

PPP

This is lovely. Classic notes of vanilla and oak at just the right strength.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Hard to find something not to like with this one. Gets a little windy and has a quick finish (that's what she said), but otherwise, I love it.

Michael McKee

Mike "Alex's Brother" McKee

One of my favs!!

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

It's got some sweetness for sure, but the combo is throwing me off. It's like a lullaby in a minor key. Comfortable and kind of dark at the same time.

I can't believe how low a proof it is!

Greg Baur

That’s deep bro

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Ok-ish

John McDowell

Worm

Islay and maple syrup? Tastes like some hybrid…enjoyed, but wouldn’t buy this

Matt Eagle

Precious

Oh, this is fantastic. Woodsy, masculine, and well balanced. I’d love to own a bottle of this.

Allan Maule

PPP

Really interesting! The oaky power of this one shines through. Guessing some kind of sherry-heavy scotch.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Wonderful.

James Hatfield

Hanky

Oh my. This will get rated low but dang it’s so good.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Smooth, tasty, easy drinking. Confused by the color. Scotch from a sherry barrel?!?

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Tastes pretty thin and a little young. Maybe a couple more years in the barrel, but not feeling it's quite ready. Here's a cool pic of a Christmas tree made out of whiskey barrels from a company in Wake Forest. https://thewhiskeyworkshop.com/products/bourbon-barrel-christmas-trees-two-sizes-69754

Tastes like Momma's tears
