Notes

Some decent spice, goes down easy but not my favorite. My taste buds are screaming RYE!!

Bringing the heat!! Great maple syrup nose and tasty finish. Higher the proof, the more the flavor until you reach a certain point. We are close to that line.

I don't like the smell or the taste. This must be what it is like for Erin K. to drink Scotch.

Dark fruits and spice. Quite strong. I like it

Easy drinking, a little medicinal

Feel the burn... it is strong and I love it. I get notes of cherries, caramel and spice. If you let it sit in your mouth, you can get a feeling for the high proof of this bourbon. Great start to the advent calendar.

Final sip, I swear i tasted 24 but must have screwed it up. Super tasty, great finish to the calendar. Nutty bourbon

Delicious scotch. More peat than smoke. I love it.

This is tough to drink. I feel like it's a bourbon in a rum cask and pretty strong.

Smells incredible. Like putting cherries in my wheaties. But when I taste it, it's just so so. Kind of thin. Maybe better if in a mixed drink.

Pretty good and I get that nice sting. Fades kind of fast, but otherwise good.

Smells like a unique hard cider. Getting a little more oak and leather on the palate. The finish really lingers. Loving this one.

This is a good Scotch, a little thin, but not too much. Getting apples and other scotchy things. Not at all offensive to the palate.

I like coffee and whiskey, but not sure I love this and not sure I hate it. That said, I think you're doing it wrong if you're not mixing it with Irish cream.

Not getting a lot on the nose, but really liked the leathery taste mixed with some sweetness. Reminded me of an old dude in a velvet sweater smoking a pipe. You know he's got stories and was likely famous in his day, but when you're chatting with him, he's only interested in listening to your take on politics, relationships and commiserating about not getting those Taylor Swift tickets. "Damn Ticketmaster", he says with a smirk. You share a laugh and then you part ways knowing you'll never see each other again. Or will you...

This one started out great. Getting baked apples and some citrus all the way through. But as I sipped it, it just felt like it was getting weaker.

Getting a lot of apple juice without the sugar. Kind of OK, but that's it.

This is a harder scotch than the others. Kind of like the step dad of scotch. Your real dad is cool and loving and then your step dad comes around and tries to show you that love, but it just comes off more like an uncle who tries to get too close.

Having a hard time placing this one in anything other than vanilla flavored rubbing alcohol. I don't hate it, but the first feel on the palate is more bite than is comfortable. The finish is really nice and getting some vanilla wafer vibes. It just disappears quick.

Smells like alcohol, tastes like medicine. The finish goes quickly...and I'm kind of glad.

Banana on the nose, but it's really faint. Could also be that I have COVID.

Sour cherries for sure and a lot of oak. It's quite good. Not extraordinary, but could certainly sip on this everyday.

It's as American as apple pie except it's Scotch.

Citrus on the nose and honey on palate, oak on the finish. So so so good. For a high proof, this is super calm.
