I love this one, and have definitely had it before. I would say it’s Stagg Jr, but not sure the proof is high enough? Very good, nonetheless.

Woah. This is interesting. Can’t be a bourboun My guess is a scotch or some Japanese? I don’t think I’ve had this before.

Very light and easy to drink. This has to be a scotch or japanese whiskey, right?

Not horrible, and maybe even good?

I am getting something really funky in this one...and not in a good way. Could be the Mediterranean dinner i just finished. I think it's a bourbon, but I'm getting a strange metallic aftertaste...

Not bourbon. Definitely scotch. And I don't hate it.

Not sure what this is. Kind of tastes like bourbon, but kind of doesn't. I'm really loving it though.

Very unique. Dried fruits, apricots? Hey dark in color. The only thing I’ve had even close to resembling this was Taiwanese whiskey (Kavalan). Going to give this a 7, perhaps out of uniqueness alone.

Good, but a bit more watery than some of the others we've had recently.

has a sweet aftertaste, won't surprise me if this is a rye ... but I'm going bourbon.
Dan Sembler
Dan Sembler
Dark in color. Did someone put motor oil in my bottle? Hot. But not harsh. Has to be a bourbon. And a barrel strength of something?
Dan Sembler
Dan Sembler
Has to be a scotch. Smokey scotch. Laphroig?

Nikka! I'd know this one in a lineup!

Little nose. Tase is sweet, with some menthol? Different than anything we’ve had yet
Dan Sembler
Dan Sembler
Smells very sweet, floral. Very light in color. More sweet on the taste, but nothing discernible. Easy drinker. Has to be a scotch, right?
Dan Sembler
Dan Sembler
Fine. Nothing super distinctive tonight. feels like it must be relatively young, for being this hot while being low proof.
Dan Sembler
Dan Sembler
Smells of apples, peat. Has to be a scotch or some Japanese variant. Smooth. Surprised this is high proof.

Color - Dark. High proof, or long in barrell? Nose - vanilla, ethonol (likely due to proof). Taste Caramel and cherries, definitely a strong pour. This tastes really familiar - maybe four roses SB or barrel strength?
