Quotes

Light, Smokey and smooth. Looks like a Japanese whiskey but the smoke confuses me.

Nick Stone

Smells Irish. Tastes Irish. Dried apricots, melon, oak. It's a breakfast whiskey for sure. Reminds me of Teelings small batch.

Smells like a decent scotch, tastes like a bunch of fruity stuff, and lingers forever. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Nick Stone

I always wanted to use winter fruit in a tasting note. So here it is. Smell has hint of winter fruit, sweet and spicey. Front end is peppery with loads of rye - as does the finish. Some heat in there so decently high proof. I like this one. Good color. And winter fruit....

Zach Bennett

Ok now this is fantastic. Easily my favorite so far. Great drink. I would buy this.

Quotes

Batch strength for sure. Notes of cherries, brown sugar and a little nutty. Just delicious. Filled with complex flavors that I can’t put my finger in.

Merry Christmas one and all. This stuff goes down slow and tastes like chocolate 🍫 covered 🍒 with a touch of honey.

Zach Bennett

Another enjoyable one here. Getting some cherry in there. I’d drink that again

Zach Lose

I love scotch. Scotchy scotch scotch. Here it goes down. Down into my belly.

Quotes

Smokey, peaty scotch. Crazy how dark & red this is in the glass. It’s really smooth, but not my favorite.

I had to let this one sit out for a bit and it got better when every sip. Getting some apples all the way throughout.

Nick Stone

Tastes like Scotland. HIghland scotch maybe? peat, smoke, leather but gentle and drinkable. not my favorite but resppectable.

Nick Stone

Tricky. You guys put so much high rye bourbon in the line-up I don't know what to say anymore. If drinking rye is cool, consider me Miles Davis.

Zach Bennett

This is delicious. And tastes real strong. Big fan though.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Nice and spicy, really smooth going down. Palette is nutty and with some light cherries.

It's got a slight Hawaiian Punch flavor which is pretty incredible. Not sweet enough to be a bourbon though. Strong cherry finish. I'm not hating it, but I would like a tiny bit more sweetness and a longer finish.

Nick Stone

Damn. That is good. Best yet. Maybe it's Xmas and I am full of goodwill. Maybe it's just a strong finish to a great advent calendar. Thanks JK!

Quotes

Great nose of brown sugar and dark fruits. Super strong with a little too much bite. Is this finally Worm’s pick? I like it, but not as much as that Larceny barrel proof.

Zach Bennett

Jonathan Kraftchick is a scholar and a gentleman. Another great year. Thank you so very much for putting this thing together. I’m so thankful to be a part of this. I give you a 10 out of a 10. Thanks again brother.

Definitely high proof, but not getting a ton of unique flavors.
