Getting a lot of apple juice without the sugar. Kind of OK, but that's it.

This is a harder scotch than the others. Kind of like the step dad of scotch. Your real dad is cool and loving and then your step dad comes around and tries to show you that love, but it just comes off more like an uncle who tries to get too close.

Having a hard time placing this one in anything other than vanilla flavored rubbing alcohol. I don't hate it, but the first feel on the palate is more bite than is comfortable. The finish is really nice and getting some vanilla wafer vibes. It just disappears quick.

Smells like alcohol, tastes like medicine. The finish goes quickly...and I'm kind of glad.

Banana on the nose, but it's really faint. Could also be that I have COVID.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Sour cherries for sure and a lot of oak. It's quite good. Not extraordinary, but could certainly sip on this everyday.

Hef

It's as American as apple pie except it's Scotch.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Citrus on the nose and honey on palate, oak on the finish. So so so good. For a high proof, this is super calm.

This one is pretty smooth and easy to drink. Can't put my finger on it, but it's sweet and floral.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Pure unadulterated scotch.

It's good, but something about the finish just tastes undone. A little stronger would be wonderful.

More like rubber bike tires that need to be changed. Wouldn't seek this out.

Not a huge fan. Complete guess on this one. Tastes kinda like an Irish whiskey or something like that?

This tastes exactly like a few bourbons on my shelf. chocolate-covered cherries/almonds on the nose. Has a little spice to it. I like it.

Holy heartburn. This one has some balls to it. Nose is sweet and juicy fruit. Port and Brandied cherries. Instant heartburn on taste. Hard to make it past the ethanol burn to get flavor. Taste like a port barrel or wine cask diesel fuel.

Another winner. Tastes like a good wheated bourbon. The nose is really sweet with fruit/vanilla/caramel/black tea. The taste is a bit weak and doesn't quite taste like the smell. It definitely passes the old-fashioned test.

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

Either really really oaky barrel proof bourbon, or Scotch. Going high proof Scotch. Nose is vanilla/crème brûlée/ oak. Have to make it past the ethanol to find the taste of raisins/vanilla custard.

Tastes like Scotch...but fruity. Glad we havent gotten into the ultra smoke/peat shops yet. I kinda dig the lighter fruity/floral sips. Super light in color and really fruity on the nose (peach/mango/banana). Jump of ethanol on the initial taste, but added a few drops of water and it calmed down. Still not a fan of Scotch, but this advent calendar has opened my eyes that Scotch has huge flavor swings. Good sipper, really good with the Bittermilk smoked honey.

Smells like a bourbon...looks like one...doesnt really taste like one though, kinda weak?...made a old fashioned with this one and it didnt come through. Tastes like Woodford to me.

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

Bussin...I think that's what they say. This and last night are two of my fav's so far. Not as sweet as last night, but more spice, even though it had a cherry nose to it.

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

ehh, not bad. Nose is white grape juice...taste is just weird

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

Hands down favorite...it's not coffee flavored though...points off.

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

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.

Ben Freeman

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.
