Notes

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.

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.

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!

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.

Kimmy C

Yum!!

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.

Mrs Hef

nutty

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.

Kimmy C

This tastes like peat, moss, trash and skunk and smells even worse. I would vote 0 if I could.

Nope. Barely made it past the nose. I just can't with these. :-)

Mrs Hef

Oh boy I could not wait to review this one. Just from the smell I almost puked my Chipotle dinner all over the Christmas tree. I know I should taste it, but I ain't gonna. I give this a negative five.

Teryn Glunz

I made a face on the first sip, and it’s wasn’t a pretty one. I know you’re asking yourself - how is that possible for a bonnie Scottish lass such as myself? So much smoke that lingers far too long. It grew on me a little by my third or fourth sip and I even detected some citrus and pine coming through but really not a fan of the finish. I’m liking Scotch more these days, but this one isn’t for me.

Adriana Campos

Not my favorite. But I definitely got the orange.

Adriana Campos

Very very hard to drink. Made my eyes water. Scotch?

Kimmy C

Cinnamon and vanilla on the nose. Delicious in my mouth!

Teryn Glunz

Goodness gracious me. Now we’re talking. Maple and warm spices on the nose with a nice sweet burn down the gullet. Burnt caramel, sweet orange, nectar of the gods on the tongue. Long slow burn to finish. Yum.

For me was fruity/floral on the nose, then corn toward the back. Very nice.

Adriana Campos

Vanilla, very sweet smelling, I like this one.
