Quotes

I think I was just so excited for the advent season that I wasn’t ready to receive this bourbon. Hot out the gate, loved the nose but a slight medicinal character kept me from rating it too high.

Zach Bennett

Good start to the calendar and what a day to be alive. Love the addition of some fellow Jews to the calendar this year (shout out to the Rubins). Interesting flavor. Easy drink. Not too strong. My pregnant wife thinks it smells so you know this one is good.

Dan Sembler

Love this whiskey

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Welcome to the good stuff.

Nick Stone

Familiar. Pepper, rye grass, apricot. Vanilla. Maybe some pig? Super drinkable.

Nick Stone

Leather. Peat. Tobacco. Summer fruit. I think this is Irish. If it's scotch shame on me. Gotta say I am not a huge fan. Leather is forward like my docksiders but not as bad as some others. Kind of grew on me a bit. Opened up on the fruit. Add a drop of water and bam!

Zach Bennett

For the love of scotch

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Lots of smoke, comes off as a scotch from the nose all the way through. Buttery, silky texture to it. Not my favorite on flavor, but still enjoyable.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

This one tastes like medicine to me and I feel like I'm getting healthier with every sip.

Nick Stone

Orange-y, pepper and baking spices. Got some heat on it. Reminds me of Widow Jane. Maybe a little harsh on the palette. The baking spices want to be enjoyed slowly and the turpentine doesn't.

Zach Bennett

Bottled in bond? This is tasty stuff right here. Super easy on the finish. Sweet upfront. My kind of drink…Rye? I’ll stick with bottled in bond.

Smokey

Quotes

The smell is familiar, the taste is complex and enthralling. I get hints of spice and plum. The whiskey has a strong punch behind it, with a strong alcohol content. Some type of barrel proof, maybe Bookers.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Happy to be back on the bourbon train with a nice high proof.

Zach Bennett

This one is very interesting. Fruity. I have no idea what this is. Not bad though

Nick Stone

Little nose. Brown sugar. Carmel. But not much. Possible breakfast drink.

Dan Sembler

Getting something different about this. Have to go other.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Lemon drops, honey, diapers, and a few other ingredients that make me picture a picnic at a retirement home.

Nick Stone

Brown sugar on the nose. Rye grass. Pepper. Honey. Not much on the back end. Simple syrup.

Dan Sembler

Getting hints of rye spice, not overly hot. Is this our first rye of the year?

Derek Glunz

Quotes

I keep thinking tequila and lime. I hate it, but my code requires me to finish every drop and I dread taking another sip. How does this fall into the category of whiskey? I hope this isn’t one of my selections.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Easy drinkin'! Getting some fruity something or other and just wish the finish lasted longer (that's what she said...)

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Heavy fruit on the front and some spice on the back. I am really having trouble figuring out the category of this one.

Nick Stone

Pepper. Rye spice. Caramel and brown sugar. Peppermint. Clean finish. My wife liked this one, so sounds like I better buy a bottle.... super delish.
