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

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.

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!

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!! ; )

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..

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

Colleen Beyer

Not a fan, may need tums…feel the burn (I’m being dramatic)!

Preferred Day 1, but this is a nice sipper. Light with a little grainy sweetness.

McKenna Beddingfield

Such a sweet smell with a honey flavored burn. High spice. Light flavor. Pretty good for a drink after talking about chicken pie and Copilot to the entire Firm where I work.

love this pic! : )

Hallie Knuffman

Is this one of those few scotches that I can tolerate, and perhaps even enjoy a bit? Some smoke & peat, but not too much. I get lots of apple on the finish. On the sweet side, but I don’t hate it.

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Hallie that's exactly what I said lol

I love starting the calendar with last year's winner. Makes me realize I was being generous with scores as time went on haha. This time I scored this one lower, I think. It's not as good as I remember but maybe my palette is out of shape. Lots of work to do.

Hallie Knuffman

Aaand we’re back!! This is delicious, just about everything one could ask for in a bourbon. And now I’ve also seen where & how it’s made! Here’s to another fun calendar!

Had a big hug but quite enjoyable caramel ending. Nice way to start off the season!

This bourbon is so good just straight out of the bottle. It's a fantastic, deliciously butterscotch hinting amazing drink. I'm so glad Mystic is in Durham, NC.

Kim Cleary

Kimmy C

Yum!!

Teryn Glunz

Loving the nose in this one - super juicy cherry and vanilla. Sweet and spice on the tongue but not getting a ton of flavor. Nice burn, but a tad astringent for my liking.

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

nutty

Hallie Knuffman

Very happy to be at this again this year! This was syrupy, plum/cherry flavor. Not as good as the reference bourbon I had right next to it.
