Quotes
Don’t think it is bourbon or scotch, no idea. Not my favorite flavor

Nose - Green wood, pine? Palate - Cinnamon, vanilla, caramel. Finish - Strong, and very pleasant, lingering. This is the best thing the whiskey calendar has introduced this year.

Wow, just wow. Tried it neat and with ice. Big fan of the proof, the sweetness in the nose all the way to the finish. Much prefer the neat.

Quotes
Pretty smooth for a strong bourbon. I like high proof and like this bourbon.

Whoa there hot stuff. So many fruity, vanilla smells. Christmas in a cup. I'd love the finish to be a little more pronounced, but otherwise, this is a great way to end the day.

I really like the finish. Sweet upfront, bold in the middle and then even sweeter at the end.

Not getting anything on the nose. But a real nice black pepper on the tongue.

Quotes
Average bourbon, noting too special on the flavor

If this is a scotch, I think I might like scotch.

Quotes
Super smooth, like the medium proof. Taste some honey. Like it a lot. Henry McKenna is my guess

Bright on the nose, An Easy sipper, do i taste green apples? I think I'm going to guess scotch ... won't be surprised if its Irish.

Quotes
Smooth yummy bourbon. I feel like this is one of my favorites Four Roses small batch

Based on color and lightness of the palate, I'm thinking a low proof scotch. I get almost nothing on the nose. It's OK, but wouldn't seek out a bottle on my own. Maybe barrel strength has ruined my palate.

Drank it neat, but tastes like it's on the rocks. A bit thin, but easy to drink. Getting a lot of wood...wait...now I'm getting something like orange gummy bears. I have no idea. The taste keeps changing. It's surprisingly good and maybe inconsistent. I'm thinking this is a very inexpensive bourbon, but good bang for the buck.

Quotes
Quite tasty, smooth, rich flavor

Is anyone else's whiskey red tonight? Why is this red? Kind of tastes like a bourbon, but finished in some type of second cask. I'm guessing bourbon, but I'm not confident
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

It just tastes like a cup of burnt sugar.

Quotes
Tastes some vanilla. Not overly complex but tasty

Right down the middle. Loving it.

Sweet Caramel nose, a bit of rye spice on the taste, not a super long finish. A good, standard bourbon.

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Definitely starting to enjoy scotch more. I think this is my selection Aberlour 12. Very smooth and a nice touch of spice

Quotes
Too sweet and some sort of aftertaste, hope this wasn’t my pick
