Tastes like burning…

Zach Bennett

There we go. This is a drinker right here. I’ve been saying some of the other ones were strong and have been way off but this one I feel like has some real bite. But I get into that sort of thing because I’m weird.

Great nose, super smooth. Cask strength bourbon. A little caramel

Is this going to be our 13th consecutive Scotch? Hmm on first whiff it appears JK has come back to his sense. Very bold, good neat or on rocks

Greg Baur

Grass and herbs with toffee and fresh sawn oak on nose. Taste is a bit sweeter with cinnamon and pepper finish. The grassy notes with spice and pepper are leading me straight to rye. Samples next to a few ryes and bourbons and quite a strong oak relatively. I like it. Complex.

James Hatfield

Hanky

Solid choice. Not running out to buy it from blind tasting but has that sweet hit sugar I love.

Kevin Guyer

Liking this a lot. I could sit down to a glass of this most nights to combat the ennui and impending threat of AI. It might take my job, but it won't drink my whiskey.

Matt Eagle

I’m not really connecting with this one. Feel a bit like a one trick pony, and I’d like a little more character out of a dram. A bit too much charcoal and rough spice throughout without evolving into something more interesting. Not bad, just not for me.

Jim Brown

I'm going with Japanese here, for absolutely no good reason. Smoky scotch taste, and a wonderful sweetness that carries through the peat. I can't place it though -- maybe some tropical fruit? It has a nice spicy finish without burning away the flavor. Great stuff.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

I'm digging the nose, but the rest of it tastes somewhat average to me.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Not my favorite scotch.

This has to be a Scotch or some type of American Whiskey. Nose has vanilla, orange, and red grapes. Flavor is oak/vanilla/dried fruit. Tastes a little weak and watered down, but sweet when left sitting out. Water erased the flavor. Between 80-90 proof, but I have been WAY off one most of my guesses, so going for the middle.

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Is this a scotch that I don't hate??

Johan Martinez

Not much at the nose - strange. Ocean smell? Maybe apricots Finish is very subtle - not much of a finish if you as me. Did NOT enjoy this neat.

Johan Martinez

Smells yummy. I think I’m going to enjoy this one!!! Nose: Oak, orange/citrus, licorice I thought it was a bourbon just by looks and smell. But now that I taste it, I am not sure what this is. Maybe if I keep drinking it will help confuse me more haha!

Hallie Knuffman

Sweet, maple on the front. Tiny bit of smoke. Smooth. I like it.

Nate Knuffman

Easy drinker. Sweeter flavors of caramel and vanilla are present, along with a nutty finish.

Curtis Mulder

The nose is not good on this one. Smells rotten. Tastes better (a little) than it smells.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

It's interesting. I would like a little more in the pallette.

Mark Peters

Shaft

Not sure what this is. A rye is my best guess. Definitely would buy this.

Christopher Reeves

band-aid

Liking the nose, raisins and wood. Tasting salty smoked fish, pepper. Lingering pencil. Enjoyed nose more than first nip, shame. Water added campfire and i want to say butter? I was certain from the start this would be bourbon but now i'm thinking rye? Has a nice burning sting. Fish on the back of the tongue. It's aight.

Zach Bennett

I just don’t know

Chad Wiley

This isn’t for me…but I tried…

James Hatfield

Hanky

Odd aftertaste. I can’t tell what this one is. Least favorite. Watch it be the most expensive.
