Great way to start things off this year! Loved going to Mystic. Thanks!

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Light and easy drinking but a medicinal flavor to it. Not my favorite, probably a scotch.

Derek! Thank you for the shout out. 😁 I liked this one!

This smells and tastes so familiar. I’m going to kick myself when I reveal what it is. Very light bodied, and has a bit of a bite. Leaves me a bit wanting, but overall not bad.

James Hatfield

Hanky

It’s delicate. Not too boozy. It’s not an easy one to guess.

James Hopkins

Tubs

Floral to the max

Gentle and balanced with traces of honey and orange. A bit forgettable, but it's really easy to drink and a nice dram.

Quotes

Gentle and dram, you hit the two key words

Its good to be home! As always....amazing start. If anyone has any Day 1 left...I have an empty bottle that needs filling...

We're back! This Broken Oak has a bit more of a grain flavor than I remember, but still such a solid pour.

Allan Maule

Still broken. Still great.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Such a good bourbon! Smooth, sweet and a little strong but I still enjoyed it as much as last year. Enjoying this with my brother-in-law who likes it but thinks it is a little astringent with a medicinal finish that lingers a little too long for his preference. Great start to the season. Merry Christmas!!

John McDowell

Sweeter and more baking spices than I remember, which leads to a muddied finish, but still delicious

James Hatfield

Hanky

This is my recommendation. Of course it rocks.

Mouth Magic. I enjoyed this yesterday during the tour and while I'm not a bourbon guy, I'd sip on this next to the only 2 other bourbon's I'd actually buy: Michter's Sour Mash & Mystic Bottle in Bond--Allan's 2023 submission. Am I becoming a Bourbon Guy Again?

Good evening, Colonel Taylor! Nose of candied cherry and orange. Taste of orange and honey, with a finish of sweet corn. Such a winner.

Such a great start to this year's advent

Green apple flavor, taste like a young whiskey. I have zero clue what this is.

Matt Eagle

Good nose. Substantial sweetness. Fair burn. Overall, very enjoyable.

Josh Mitchell

Strong and delicious.

John McDowell

Heat. Cinnamon. Well balanced. Like if fireball grew up and got a college degree. Nah…that’s too far.

James Hopkins

Tubs

Strong flavor—Maple & walnuts…decent finish

Derek Glunz

Quotes

I think I was just so excited for the advent season that I wasn’t ready to receive this bourbon. Hot out the gate, loved the nose but a slight medicinal character kept me from rating it too high.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Welcome to the good stuff.

Mark Peters

Shaft

Great start to a new advent!

Tastes like a young Ardbeg, perhaps the 10 year. Crisp and lemony with that distillery's characteristic softer touch of peat. I love this one.
