Notes

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!

Solid burner upfront, but calms down after a bit like a baby throwing a tantrum before a rage nap.

I would drink this again. Strong but smooth at the same time.

Would I sip this bourbon here or there? I'd sip this bourbon anywhere. I get caramel on the nose, oh so sweet. After a long day this is a nice little treat Would I drink this with ole JK Of course I would, any day. Perhaps next week when I am down in Raleigh To miss that opportunity would surely be folly So do I like it, Sam-I-am? Of course I do, it's a fine dram. It's not too strong, it's not too wild. But is good to sip on, calm and mild.

Cinnamon, maple syrup…some heat. My favorite so far. I feel confident I’ve had this before though I can’t place.

As I age, I prefer this flavor profile more and more. Afraid to speak to confidently about what I think this is, this early in the calendar - but quite enjoyable. Definitely have had this before, but can't pit my finger on it. Light in color, very minor peat on the nose, light fruit on the palata (green apples predominantly). Very enjoyable, but a surprising pick for this early in the calendar. Watch, I'll be wrong in my pick now.

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!! ; )

Very soft. I'm liking it. Smelling the fruit, mostly apples with a little tropical flair. Kind of waxy on the finish, but I like it. Tastes like a mother's hug.

Would I drink this whiskey Sam-I-am? Based on the first few sips, I am not a fan. It's very clear, it has not been aged for long. It also doesn't have much of a smell, what is wrong? Would I drink it chilled or neat? As long as this is a selection we do not repeat. It tastes like water, it's not so bold More like pretending to be whiskey, if truth be told. Is it awful? No just bland That is all from Sam-I-Am So Day 2's bottle, I must confess It's simply just is not the best.

Light and easy drinking but a medicinal flavor to it. Not my favorite, probably a scotch.

This was fantastic. Would definitely buy this and drink again.

Hello darkness my old friend

We're back! This Broken Oak has a bit more of a grain flavor than I remember, but still such a solid pour.

Such a good bourbon! Smooth, sweet and a little strong but I still enjoyed it as much as last year. Enjoying this with my brother-in-law who likes it but thinks it is a little astringent with a medicinal finish that lingers a little too long for his preference. Great start to the season. Merry Christmas!!

this drink is less pink than i usually order, but i'm liking this one. very smooth. it's better than my "whiskey that I know" too - sorry, Still Austin. i don't know what i'm doing, but this is fun so far. pairing this advent with listening to new songs, so enjoy if you want to listen!

Pepper and spice

There’s something off putting on the nose that wasn’t there last year. Yes, I washed my glass…

Been waiting all year to have this one again. One of the most unique and delicious bourbons I’ve ever had. Cheers to another great advent!

Well here it is again, that time of year That ole JK brings us so much cheer I sniffed this whiskey in my chair, so sweet with cinnamon in the air The first sip came with vanilla light, a gentle taste, soft, warm, and bright. Honestly I cannot say why But I liked it far more than last year's try. Would I drink this in a sleigh Riding through snowy winds on Christmas day? Yes I would says Sam-I-Am A positive start to advent with this little dram

Great kick off! Admittedly I am entirely new, but this is solid. Like it neat before adding ice. Aftertaste of vanilla and maple syrup, or maybe I am jonesing for pancakes.

Definitely would have gotten the type correct. Maybe been close on the proof. Caramel start. Not a fan of this one.
