Sorry, folks—I try, year after year, but just can’t get used to this stuff. I’ll keep trying, but feel this may go the way of cauliflower and celery for me. 😆

BTW, by stuff,” I mean scotch.

Ugh - I don't know what this is!! Getting some floral, but I don't know. Also something about it I don't love - ?? What even. Pairing with some Christmas music to add more joy : )

Leaves a good chew on the tongue. Peaty. Maple and spices. This could be a trick though and end up being Japanese.

This tastes like buns. I hate it. Gross.

Not a winner at our house. Loved the aroma on the front but too burny/dry in the mouth on the finish for my liking.

Smell of citrus, vanilla and honey with a smidge of hay but boy does it burn going down. I had to add a splash of water and an ice cube. Gives a good throat burn 🔥 that lasts a bit. Oh boy the spice! I'd look for this if I was outside, in the cold, freezing rain and needed a burst of warmth out on the prairie. Or underneath the neck of a St. Bernard.

Burst of warmth out on the prairie. Amazing. 🤩

I taste caramel and burning! : ) I thought it deserved to sit by the tiger curtains. This one is interesting. TGIF!

Fire flames! This is good! I smelled this while reading the chip bag and tricked my brain into smelling cinnamon, coconut and sugar... Or are those the notes .. we'll never know.

💅🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hallie Knuffman

Super hot—but not in a good way! 😉 Even with water added, it was tough to find the flavors through the heat. My tongue is still tingling—but not in a good way! 😆

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Oh no, I'm very confused. And I like this one.

Kelsey Harkins

Team Harkins

Confused for sure. Huge nose full of honey and pineapple in the bottle but changed after it aired out IMO. This was a fun one to try to suss out.

Smells fruity, I like it. I shall keep drinking it. Whiskey + Hallmark today.! : )

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

What a relaxing setup!

Hallie Knuffman

No strong reaction or thoughts on this one. I’d drink it with a meal, but prob not enough that I’d sip it on its own.

Caramel smooth, hints of vanilla. Easy drinking. Slow but light burn. Sign of peat. A good drink while sitting in my book dragon library...📚

This is super yummy! I smell vanilla, honey and butterscotch. Big bold oak flavor! I “believe” this is my favorite!

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

Slow burst of burn on the backend. Moss-earthy flavor sits heavy in your mouth.

Hallie Knuffman

Yum. Another great pour. Sweet on the front, more grassy on the back end.

Jackie Connor

JC

I blame my cold, but I don't smell a lot on this one. Kind of sweet, but really not sure. Music is good. Cheers people!

Misery loves company 😝

I like it! Smells delicious, tastes delicious. Sweet and dessert ish.

Kelsey Harkins

Kelseys fav so far. Andrew is skeptical. 😆

Colleen Beyer

None

Smooooooth! I like it! Neat is perfect!

Jackie Connor

JC

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It's kind of growing on me. Pairing it with a newish song I like so maybe that's helping. ; ) I smell the fruit, but something is there that's not my fave. Still drinking it!! ; )

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

I must be off my game this year because I'm confused already lol. Or I'm inching closer to tolerating scotch every year. Nose was good, not offensive . First taste was fruity then a scotchish finish but not totally scotch (this is where I always think maybe rye or other). Kinda get tobacco. I'm going with my gut and initial reactions this year. You over think it and you'll probably get it wrong..

Kim Cleary

Yuck…until I added two drops of water and let it sit…a bit better after that.
