Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Quite smooth. Wish it had a little more depth, though.

Kevin Guyer

I was told 'I hope this is cheap, well, cheap enough that I can have it regularly, but not so cheap that it makes me look uncouth.' - Getting some honey and vanilla, really dig this one.

Jim Brown

Nice flavor, little too much burn for my preference. Liked it initially, but doesn't hold a candle to some of my other favorites.

Nick Stone

Leather. Tobacco. But sweet. Added an ice cube to good effect. Blair hates it. Gave it a 3. Almost feels like a Japanese blend but not balanced enough. Meh. Good not great.

Chris Northcutt

Mellow

Allan Maule

PPP

Bright and balanced without leaving a lasting impression. Finish of oranges and vanilla. Not bad! But not great either.

Josh Roberson

Strong start

Ben Freeman

Wildcard

Def bourbon. nose is cherries/orange/vanilla. higher proof. Pretty sweet...

James Hopkins

Tubs

Strong & Delightful

Matt Roberson

full body, robust flavor. touch of sweet but not too much.

James Hatfield

Hanky

Earthy and hot. Lots of vanilla.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

This is A LOT hotter than I remember. Almost like this could be on an episode of "Hot Ones".

Jim Brown

I drank this out of a Star Wars Snifter, not sure if that affected the experience in any way. Still tasted like a good old fashioned scotch bourbon. With a high-proof kick in the pants.

Chris Northcutt

Burn baby burn...wasn't quite ready for that one.

Curtis Mulder

Mmmm. Delicious. Strong. FANTASTIC start to the calendar IMHO.

Scott Beckett

It's sweet, but not simple. Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar/molasses save it from just being a syrupy sugar bomb. The proof doesn't quite sneak up on you, but it drinks easier than it ought to. Black Cherry cola for grown folk.

Teryn Glunz

Really hitting the ground running with this one. Hot damn this is strong and spicy. I had to step outside for a minute to cool off. It was either that or take my pants off but I didn’t want to give Derek the wrong idea. Super sweet and tons of spice. Would drink again.

Quotes

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.

Nate Knuffman

Feel the burn. It's good to be back. Caramel and spice and everything nice.

Hallie Knuffman

Yay, yay, yay--it's December!! I really enjoyed this one with a drop of water. I got some vanilla, maybe raisin.

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Well I know it was highly rated last year, but it's not that memorable or great. But it's day one and I might change my mind about this one after a few scotches hit the scene.

Johan Martinez

I will take this one on the rocks every time. Much stronger than I remember from last year. My pallet definitely needs refining/retraining. Aside from the spice, hard to get the other taste notes

Josh Light

Great Nose. Bit of sweetness and baking spice up front with a touch of heat on the finish.

Kevin Guyer

The nose on this one burned off most of my nasal hair, but it redeemed itself with a little sweet on the front and a great finish. We both felt like it could be a rye and the consensus is that we'd buy this. Good stuff. Thanks for not slipping me Fireball on day 1.
