This one's got me guessing. Smells sweet and bitter, but tastes dry and fruity, then the aftertaste has a malt flavor to it. The weird combo really works for me though.

Mark Peters

Shaft

Scotch is good?

Mitch Mitchell

WeGo

Very good. I like the taste all the way through. Now trying the second half on the rocks with a twist.

John McDowell

Worm

No idea what this is. Very good- mild flavor compared to the burn on the end.probably is less expensive than I think it tastes

Mark Peters

Shaft

So spicy on the palate, but a comparatively smooth finish, but only for a second, the alcohol reminds you of bad life decisions and lingers a little too long.

James Hatfield

Hanky

This taste like spices and earth.

Matt Eagle

Precious

This scotch is a straight banger. Love everything about it. Just the right amount of peat. Perfectly balanced for my taste.

Allan Maule

Like the candied cherry in the nose and the orangey finish. This one is a sweet crowd pleaser, like the 18 bourbons we had in previous calendars.

Mitch Mitchell

WeGo

Interesting taste, maybe butterscotch or caramel.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Kind of bland. Not bad, but not getting much from it.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Very tough. I like it for sure, but not sure what I'm getting. Maybe some salt, wood, but not much sweetness. The finish does start to get sweet, but it takes a while to get there.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Good, but not overwhelming in any way. A lot of burn on the end

John McDowell

Worm

Excellent. Maybe a less complex flavor profile? Which is probably better for me given I’m not good at recognizing all the flavors.

James Hatfield

Hanky

It tastes like eggnog with curry. It’s terrible. Never given a 1 before but this gets it.

Matt Eagle

Precious

Love the heat on this. Burn baby burn! Tastes familiar. Really enjoyable.

Allan Maule

One of my faves from this calendar! Bright and floral with lots of vanilla and butterscotch. Look forward to the reveal on this one.

Justin Carroll

Umbro (Justin Carroll)

I'm pretty sure Hef submitted this and somehow found a way to mix cookies and whiskey together.

John McDowell

Worm

Someone mixed bourbon with Aunt Jemima’s syrup and a pine tree air freshener. Almost a hint of juniper which makes me think Elmer T Lee, but not nearly as good. I sipped enough to get an opinion but can’t finish this glass

Matt Eagle

Precious

Well, my wife said this is like drinking high-proof flowers, so we’ll go with that. Interesting. Neither of us could place this one. Wanted more from the finish.

Mitch Mitchell

This tastes like Triple Crown Butterscotch whiskey. The drink “buttery nipple” comes from this whiskey.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Wow, this is sweet from the nose to the finish. If I wanted to get my kids drinking whiskey, this is how I would start them. Lots of caramel and salt-water taffy flavors. As overwhelming sweet as it is, very smooth that makes it a little bit likable.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Tastes like Christmas. It's a lot like baked apples, some vanilla, baking spices, basically just a holiday breakfast. Not sure if I like it. The finish is great, but getting there is less great.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Sweet honey flavor. It's ok. I'd drink it if offered, but wouldn't go out of my way to find it.

James Hopkins

Tubs

Light and citrusy
