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

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.

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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

Strong. Overall delicious. Sweet on the front with the bite on the back.

Quotes
I love it! Such complex citrus, dark fruits on the nose and on the palette. The first sip knocked me over, glad I got back up.

High proof, but super enjoyable, finish lasts forever. Strong notes of cinnamon and vanilla, just enough aged oakto know it's there. Knowing what this one is from last year, not surprised that this was last year's winner.

Had this next to Four Roses and it's even better then I remember. A lot of fruit, some cinnamon, just super sweet.

Sweet, but with some cinnamon or spice on the back end. mild proof, but long finish. Guessing this is an older bourbon?

Quotes
No nose compared to that Elijah Craig yesterday. Very smooth dark fruit taste, not the best finish. Goes down easy, partly due to the low proof. I think this is my selection JTS Brown. Really enjoy and would drink regularly.

That 🍒 taste is great, but the finish is a bit weak. Would love if it was more balanced, but a bit inconsistent.

Wow. That was rough. I am so weak.

Familiar. Like an old friend. Easy drinking.

Funky like old shoes in a closet. Leather. Mellow. Need to be sitting beside a fire for this one... not in the office.

I got day 2 super wrong but I feel like I tasted vanilla at first. Very delicious. Better than day 2.
