Lots of butterscotch and toffee vanilla and dare I say pralines on the nose. Like walking into candy shop that they are making toasted marshmellows. Taste is quite nice especially after a few drops of water. Like eating a butterscotch candy that was stored in a leather pouch. Proof gonna be tough on this one as I think it’s a higher proof smooth drinker. Curious what makes it so sweet. Perhaps a rum barrel something. Comparing proof to EJ toasted barrel

Josh Light

No clue what type this could be, but its delicious. Extremely smooth with almost like prunes on the nose with a caramel heavy finish with smooth notes of honey to help it along.

Scott Maclean

Sweet and firey. Tasty, and opened up nicely with a splash of water.

This is so confusing. Not a scotch, too dark for Irish, not a rye, so maybe a unique bourbon?? Tasty though.

Disgusting. Smells like a Wings beach shop. Tastes like stale apples. Please don't be my selection.

Something distinct i can't quite place what is it. Definitely caramel, cinnamon. Some vanilla. Alcohol is there but not too forward. Actually got some smoke. Cake, baked bread. Sour aftertaste. Butterscotch. Pepper. Good but not terribly interesting?

Josh Light

Like the spiciness with a touch of sweetness and this one kind of grew on me after a few sip, but I just can't get past that finish. This one just isn't for me.

I really like this one. The finish is unlike anything I've had. It almost tastes like a Christmas tree...without the risk of swallowing the needles.

Tastes like…burning. Flavor profile is good, but unrefined. Seems on the cheaper side…despite the higher proof

I stare into this strangers face. ‘I know you…have I met you before?’ ‘No’ he says ‘we have not met on this earth or the next. ‘How can that be?’ I ask ‘you are so familiar, but so foreign’. ‘I am the ending of a story you have not yet written.‘ he says ‘look deeper, look inward, look AT ME’ and I realize I am staring into a mirror.

Nate Knuffman

Interesting nose on this one - lots of pepper and touch of oak. Cinnamon in finish. Enjoying it but not a standout.

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in my glass clear, A whiskey that whispered of good holiday cheer. With a nose hinting maple, and honey, a touch, A warmth from the spirits, though not overly much. On tasting it wheaty, a grainy delight, Yet on balance it stayed just an average bite. No twinkling stars, no fantastical tale, But comfort it brought in its simplicity scale As I took a small sip, it was wheaty and neat, This average whiskey's flavor was discreet. By the fire we sat, in the soft candlelight, Toasting our glasses to a calm winter night

Wood. Burns my eyeballs. i get cherry pipe smoke. Smells like Mary Grace's house. Oily. Clean heat. Adding water brings out some dirty sock. Pretty flat with a pepper finish.

Greg Baur

Nice nose on this one especially after a bit of water. Oak upfront but with familiar cherry vanilla citrus and almost almond. Left and came Back to it and got some peanut brittle going on. I guess I can say it’s complex. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s barrel finished. The taste is a bit malty like a bit of a scotch note. Be surprised if it was but who knows. I really like it whatever it maybe.

'Twas the night of the thirteenth tasting, and all through the night, Each dram was evaluated by palate and sight. But one pour was puzzling, as baffling as can be, A mystery to solve, perhaps only for me. It smelled faintly of wheat, but then what more to find? No other scents registered, left me so blind. Then came the tasting, oh what a dread, The flavor was awful, just as I said. In a twist of fate, others might think it divine, But this whiskey's for them, not for this tongue of mine. So cheers to the nights, and the tastings we seek, For every bad dram, a new favorite we meet!
