This was the hardest by far. I'm stumped.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Blech. Tastes of horse manure (see photo)..
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Yes. Saving the best for the last week. I feel like this one was chosen for me. Thank you whoever submitted this one.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Welp, this is my fourth tasting tonight since I was out of town, so I might be wrong. But this one is bringing the heat!
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Is this the one time of year that I like a scotch reluctantly?
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
No.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Nah. Dog snarl upper lip on this tasting.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Blech.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
It's ok. Needs a cream or mixer.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
I don't hate it. But I also don't love it .
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Yum! Taste bud approved! This is my kind of bourbon. I'm going to feel dumb when it's something I've probably had but can't recognize the brand.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Hhm, scotch but not the worst? I'm just going to say smoke and peat because isn't that always the answer for scotch? Watch this be a decoy and me be completely wrong.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
All right now! This is what I'm talking about. I'm just going to drink this for the rest of the calendar and skip all the days that are scotches.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
No comment necessary. I think we all know what I would say about this one.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
I have no idea on this one. It's tricky.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Well I know it was highly rated last year, but it's not that memorable or great. But it's day one and I might change my mind about this one after a few scotches hit the scene.

This one is really nice. Floral and fruity, maybe bubblegum on the nose? A little bit of mineral/chemical taste, but in a really positive way. Really got me to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sips.

All the qualities of Scotch that I know--peaty, smoky, grassy. The nose was a little sour & medicinal for me, loved the front flavor, didn't love the finish. I appreciate the opportunity to keep tasting & learning more about these smoke shows. ;-)

A sweet bread on the nose, banana nut maybe? Then peanut brittle on the tongue. I feel like I know this one...?!?! Like it a lot.

Scotch-like, but seems too mild and is missing the gross smoky aftertaste.

Did Nate rate this a 10? I don't know what to do with it; the flavor is good, but not sure I want to mix my morning and evening drinks.

Very nice. I liked the depth. Couldn't find much distinctive in the flavors, but that's not a knock on the whiskey, more so on my palette tonight.

Hallie Knuffman
Nose was challenging, but I kept getting some cinnamon? Maybe speyside again, since it's light on the smoke & aftertaste? Look at me, trying to learn some things about scotch!

This one is really nice. It smells and tastes familiar. Lots of brown sugar up front, nice finish.
