Quotes
I get notes of saltwater and maple syrup on the nose. The flavor is watered down and boring. To quote PPP, this whiskey is "forgettable." I keep guessing other and regretting it, but here we go again...

Favorite scotch of the year. Smooth and tasty.

Quotes
Dark fruits and spice. Quite strong. I like it

Quotes
I don't like the smell or the taste. This must be what it is like for Erin K. to drink Scotch.

Quotes
Light fruit and floral. Soft easy drinking. There is a slight medicinal finish that puts me off. I really had trouble deciphering between Scotch or Japanese. Is this Toki from Suntory?

Quotes
Full Body hit a hole in one today. Wow! This is a spicy, buttery whiskey. Decent flavor, betting it is a rye.

Quotes
Looks like a flat soda, strong coffee flavor. I would not buy it again, cause it's bad

Quotes
I get notes of saltwater on the nose (is it scotch?). It tastes familiar.... taste delicious and appreciate the entry
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Easy drinking, a little medicinal
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Taste like a blended scotch, not my favorite but it's easy drinking.

Quotes
This is delicious and the reason I love bourbon. Traditional sweet bourbon nose and lots of nutty and maple syrup flavor. A little lower on the proof but means I could drink it all day.

Quotes
Delicious scotch. More peat than smoke. I love it.

Quotes
Strong candy smell on the nose. Light and easy drinking with some subtle light fruit flavors. The pour and taste made me want to guess other. But... in the advent calendar when you're not sure just guess bourbon.

Quotes
Feel the burn... it is strong and I love it. I get notes of cherries, caramel and spice. If you let it sit in your mouth, you can get a feeling for the high proof of this bourbon. Great start to the advent calendar.

Hi proof, serious burn. I know it's last year's winner so I know it's good, but I don't think it's as good as I remember last year. I wonder if there's more rye in the mash bill compared to last year’s bourbon. Excellent sipping whiskey.

Nose is great, but there's almost no body to it...like Mike Wazowski.
John McDowell
Worm
Tastes like a highlands scotch. Maybe not the best one, but still tastes good. Really enjoyed this.
John McDowell
Worm
Nose started good enough...but the wheels came off. Slightly higher proof, but tastes like a 'nice' whiskey someone gave you as a gift because the guy at the store said it was good, but you just end up using it with mixers.

Nose is sweet, but something slightly funky there as well, I can't put my finger on it. Very enjoyable overall. Tasty whiskey, I'll be curious to see what other people describe in the flavor
John McDowell
Worm
Takes like bourbon mixed with a bunch of rye, but maybe still bourbon. Tasty, just enough heat.
John McDowell
Worm
Maybe my favorite nose so far, like flowers but sweeter. Loved this, too easy to drink though.
John McDowell
Worm
No. Just no. It's either coffee or stout or some other barrel aged process making this taste the way it does. The hard part is, is this still bourbon or is it ‘other’? Makes me long for some good old fireball to rinse this off my palate
John McDowell
Worm
Faint on the nose, but tastes excellent. I could see this being used for sipping or quality cocktail drinks. He has a flavor profile that I think would be higher and wheat like some of our previous strengths in the calendar.

Love the sweetness on the nose. Very light overall, but that is a good thing and I really enjoyed drinking this. I'm guessing another speyside entry.
