Diggin this one. Fruity/honey/wine nose. Honey Nut Cheerios and raisins taste. Tastes like a bourbon and Scotch mixed together. Going with "other" tonight.

Smelled it...thought it would be a bourbon. Tasted it...now I have trust issues. Really oily finish that just hangs on for dear life.

Tons of flavor. Sweet peach on the nose. Hint of raisin. Lots of "burnination". Still feeling it.

this one has some spicy burn to it. It smells like Honey Nut Cheerios. tastes like has a good deal of oak and rye spice to it. Not a fan...smell is nice, but the ethanol stays for a WHILE...

First sip was amazing, but then I really didn't like it. Got worse as I drank it. Cleaning solution aftertaste makes me feel like this is an "Other".

Butterscotch and Vanilla give way to Smokey Spice. If you hold this Scotch to your ear, you can hear the Ocean.

The pendulum has swung the wrong way. Too. Many. Scotches.

Scotch...for those times when you want to look forward to something all day, and then be let down.

Taste like scotch. Don't enjoy it at all.

OK..zero idea on what the hell this is. Its sweet smelling, but has a very slight smoke to it. On the nose, I get melon fruit and honey. Taste has a mulled wine/Sherry note with a hint of smoke. I am in between Scotch and some crazy Indonesian whisky....other it is.

Ok, this one was as easy as Fireball...even Becca wants some. Sorry, not a barrel proof anything...or a smokehouse of a Scotch...its basically a Frapachino, but I like it...Picasso..

I mean... it's not a coffee whiskey...but this is pretty good. It tastes as if RC Cola was a bourbon. The spice hangs around for a while

Definately a Scotch, but the IPA of Scotch. Floral/citrus/pine needles on the nose. Bitter finish. Actually drinkable Scotch. Little peat/ no smoke.

Orange and cherry on the nose. Smells really sweet, but does not taste like it smells at all. Kinda funky and oily finish.

Final sip, I swear i tasted 24 but must have screwed it up. Super tasty, great finish to the calendar. Nutty bourbon

This is tough to drink. I feel like it's a bourbon in a rum cask and pretty strong.

Bringing the heat!! Great maple syrup nose and tasty finish. Higher the proof, the more the flavor until you reach a certain point. We are close to that line.
