As the groups resident Scotch lover, I’m going to say this is a damn fine dram. One I’d welcome in my home any day of the week. And especially delicious tonight, since I was in the mood for a scotch and had my hopes up for the calendar. It delivered. Nice and smooth, good leathery notes. Little hint of wood without the smoke. Needs more peat to be stellar, but they always do. Was more enjoyable without the water, but I’d take it either way.

Prefer a more peaty offering. It is a little light on the palate ...Not enough depth for me.

'Twas the night of the third tasting, I'll give this one a try, The nose is so silent, no familiar scents do I come by. The first taste was harsh, with a burn so strong. I thought, "I am going to need ice to help this process along." This is not very smooth and is not bringing me cheer, This is one of those Scotches that Jonathan mentioned, I fear. Will I give this selection a good grade? Well, it's hard to say. It's highly unlikely, I just don't see a way. So I'll sit with this pour, and think for a while, This whiskey really is not my style.

Scott Maclean

Really nice sip, here. Peaty, but not overwhelming, bit of a burn but still smooth. I dig this one.

This one hits all the right notes.

Simplicity is a dish best served…simply. I feel like an old man in a hat sitting in his favorite booth in what used to be a dimly lit casual watering hole but has now become a gastropub with a weird ass menu. But I’m still in my booth ordering a burger. The burger is this whiskey. Are there better whiskeys? Yes. But they are complicated and I’m scared so I stick with this one, in my booth, in my hat, while the world passes me by. It’s fairly smooth, the mouth feel is nice, I just feel like it’s not got a lot going on. Splash of water washes out any roughness so it’s even more drinkable. But to what point and purpose? What’s it all for? So we can stay in our booths? So we can all wear hats?

Nose of cherries and molasses. Definitely a bourbon, probably barrel strength. The more I sip it, the better it gets.

Curtis Mulder

Really good heat. Burnt caramel. I could drink this nightly.

James Hopkins

I enjoyed this…and with good company!

Hallie Knuffman

Easy drinker, especially compared to yesterday. Smooth, sweet fruity.

Nate Knuffman

Nose has some wood and cherry. Good spicy finish. Not quite up to last night's standard, but it's solid.

Ben Freeman

Damn, starting out hot. Dried fruit/fruitcake/raisins on the nose. Lots of heat on the first sip. Tastes like a Sherried Cask Scotch?

Almond extract and fruity cherry on the nose with some citrus. Relatively light and smooth easy drinking. Like a candied green Apple finish with a little Cherry. May be young and cheap but I like it.

John McDowell

Solid dram. Is that wheat I taste? Not a fan of wheat …or peat…or probably most things that rhyme with ‘eet’

Wil Saleeby

I hate it! But I love it!

Wil Saleeby

Nice! Check the tree…Done and done!

- Why is it so spicy? - Brown sugar, rich, dark, but the alcohol burn removes some of the capacity to enjoy; far from smooth - Some interesting floral notes

Sweet heat. Overripe cherries and vanilla nose. Black currant, caramel finish.

Tastes like a rye-heavy Tennessee whiskey. A bit spicy for my taste but I respect what it’s up to.

Josh Mitchell

Sweet and smooth early, with some heat at the end. I like this one.

Zach Bennett

Very interesting one here.
