Not good.

The alcohol is coming through and masking the flavor. Making me think this is a younger whiskey and possibly another boutique distillery. It’s good though.

If this isn’t a rye, it’s certainly cosplaying as one with all these spicy notes. I can’t get past the heat on this dram.

Everything is good up until the finish. There's something strange there. Not mad about it, but not sure I'm loving it either.

Smooth with some heat and a hint of licorice

Great nose…hot. But the finish seems to suggest this is cheaper than I think… some element that isn’t as refined. Delicious dram though

🥶 Ice helps a lot with this one.

Kinda boring. Just heat at the end.

This is complicated. Deep, rich, lots of wood, had to be cured in a special barrel. I have zero idea what style this is. This tastes expensive. Would be cool if it’s cheap because I would probably buy this one. I feel like this is a boutique distillery. Like one not in a typical spot or location. I have no idea. Nice pick this one.

Nice spicy rye notes for a cold night. Like the cinnamony finish. Cat did not care for it.

Smells like gasoline and honey. Tastes like charcoal. And for those reasons, I’m out.

Ok, was way wrong on the Scotch guess yesterday...cant happen 2 days in a row?...right? Very light, sweet, honey, grassy. Taste Highland to me, but I also have no fucking clue what I am talking about. Cheers!

Quotes
Silky smooth, not a bourbon but has some characteristics of it. I am thinking scotch in a bourbon barrel. I like it a lot

Taste like a Highland scotch. Which is to say delicious… Doesn’t taste that refined so will put it in the medium price range, but we drink this any day.

This is a fantastic scotch (hopefully my tastebuds are right). This reminds of our golf trip to Scotland. I can smell the ocean, feel the breeze, and this takes me there. Nice pick.
Also, can we all grow up a little and have Scotch win the calendar this year. That’s just old man shaking a fist at the calendar. C’mon Scotch!!! And if this isn’t a scotch I’m an idiot. Haha.

Scotchy scothch scotch (?)
This is enjoyable. Little bit of peat. Little bit of heat. Overall, very gentle for a scotch. My only real complaint is the finish is a bit short. Very nice flavor profile!

Charming and nicely balanced. This tastes like a Japanese whiskey trying to emulate a lowland scotch.

I love scotch. Scotchy scotchy Scotch.
Here it goes down. Down into my belly.

This one hits all the right notes.

Nose of cherries and molasses. Definitely a bourbon, probably barrel strength. The more I sip it, the better it gets.

I enjoyed this…and with good company!

Damn, starting out hot. Dried fruit/fruitcake/raisins on the nose. Lots of heat on the first sip. Tastes like a Sherried Cask Scotch?

Solid dram. Is that wheat I taste? Not a fan of wheat …or peat…or probably most things that rhyme with ‘eet’

Tastes like a rye-heavy Tennessee whiskey. A bit spicy for my taste but I respect what it’s up to.
