am terrible this year. 🙃🥃

Hallie Knuffman

Yikes! Hard to get thru this one, even with water. Almost a sort of kool-aid flavor in the middle, in the moments when I can get past the octane.

Sorry trigger any parents of teens with the rating. This reminds me of the smell of Elmers Glue...the kind in a pot with a spreader stick. And like an old wooden hay barn.

I like this, good to celebrate the last work day of the year 🙏 no earthly idea on proof but I'd probably drink this one again

Kevin Guyer

Come hang out!!

I’m getting lots of vanilla on this one. Initially didn’t love it, but getting it a little colder helped it a lot for me. A little Amy Grant Christmas album + this is not a bad time. 🎄⭐️🥃❤️

About to argue with the TTB about points I think I should have on this one 🙃

Number 3 of the night. It's only been about 45 minutes. Is it a bourbon? It has such a cozy burn. But there's a hint of sweet. Is it an Irish then? Also - it is the start of Winter break for the kids! Cheers to this awesome calendar. I'll be looking forward to this every year! Santa comes early for mom and dad!

Yay glad you’re back ❤️

Syrup! Butter! Rye?! I'd drink this with my pancakes. Very heavy. I don't know what else to say.

Very floral, reminds me of scotch, has hints of plaid. Don't ask me why I think that's a flavor. Back at it after a week of kiddo illness and travel. I've got 4 of these to do tonight!

I had some tequila before this so I feel like I have no idea. Oh wait that’s my usual feeling on this! Either way Im having fun. I’m getting some fruit after adding a little ice. How are we already at the end of row three?! 🥃

The smell - ewww. Don't like it. The taste - eewwww. Is this a tolerable scotch? I will say the scotches this year have been way better than past years. The last few sips were actually ok. A little orange and just a hint of peat.

Mrs Hef

I roasted my own selection lol! Now that I know it's mine, I am biased and will say I like it now. There's a lot of psychology in tasting!

Jackie Connor

🤣

Kevin Guyer

LOL

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Smells good! And familiar. The first sip punches hard but leaves quick. Then it was a meh taste in the middle. Finish is like grass and chemicals?

Hallie Knuffman

I don’t know what to do with this one. The nose says bourbon, the finish says scotch. I’m enjoying the puzzle, tho.

Kelsey Harkins

Team Harkins

We're stumped. We're behind. We're taking wild stabs.

Enjoying this one a lot, perfect timing as I try to erase the memory of buying a full case of malort for the holidays (jk we love malort in this household)

Jackie Connor

JC

🤣

Kevin Guyer

Bring. Me. Malort. ;)

Good flavor. I get a little peanut brittle maybe. The finish is a little hot, but a nice pour overall.

Jackie Connor

I’m getting notes of meh. Don’t love it or hate it. 🤔 je ne sais pas!

Kevin Guyer

'Notes of meh' is the name of my Weezer cover band.

Jackie Connor

Hahaha

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Jackie I also said meh lol!

Colleen Beyer

None

Nope 👎🏻 Decent hug though … if you like hugs!

Hallie Knuffman

This one worked well for me tonight. Warmed me up with the right level of heat.

Is this scotch?! Do I like it? The first taste was super smokey. The second and third were quite nice. I’m only choosing Japanese because it’s on the list and assuming there is some variety? Who knows?! I like it!
