I have no idea; my confidence is shot.

My New Years resolution last year was to be able to tell the difference between bourbon & rye. This is a very tasty whiskey, tons of spice, pretty smooth. I am really enjoying it. Betting on rye and hoping I succeeded in 2021.

Aww yeah. This tastes like the Bobby Flay of bourbons with all that sweet heart.

Irish?

Simple syrup again. Weirdly feels like I am drinking someone else's drink after they left an ice cube in it and it came back up to room temp. Diluted. Flat. But surprisingly nice late finish of spearmint and rye spice.

This is very unique, don't think I've had something like this before. Notes of bright fruit at the front, transitioning to dark fruit and roasted coffee. Overall, very enjoyable, if only for it's uniqueness.

Quotes
Not much on the nose, not much on the palette. I got hints of black licorice, but nothing else. Sort of boring, not bad but not good either. A non-factor.

This smells safe like a date your mom set up for you. But it tastes like you just figured out your date is your mom in a wig trying to keep an eye on you.

Spicey, clove, pepper. Vanilla. I like this one. Nice finish. At first I thought this was clearly a bourbon, but the longer I sip, wondering if it might be a gentle rye. Meh. Good either way.

Nice strong smell of cherries. Strong good whiskey, but a tad bit medicinal for me.

Smells and tastes a bit smoky, but not in the heavy scotch way. More of a light a match after a vicious trip to the restroom. Still liked it though. The finish gave me a hint of burnt honey.

Man, this is like a combo bourbon-irish. Liking it. Sweet, peaty. A little leather and smoke. But sweet again. Solid.

You ever like something and not know why? You know like waterfalls or eating the last pickle. I love this scotch, super smooth and delicious.

A kind of sweet scotch with an airy finish. I kind of love it, but can't tell if it's the same way people used to love Macklemore. It seems incredible until it doesn't.

I legit have no idea what this is. Iโd like to say it for sure isnโtbourbon and isnโt a rye. Other than that you guess is as good as mine

This tastes like college. How is this still so distinctive after all these years?

Should have put this one in the fridge. Fireball or a close cousin. Not sure it belongs in the advent calendar, but an easy night of tasting.
