A little low proof for my taste, but the flavor is pretty good. ๐๐๐๐๐

Mrs Hef
Smells like sweet tarts. Firey taste but then calmed down. I like it overall.

Stone fruit and some spiciness. Rye?
James Hatfield
Hanky
Seems clean and easy to drink. I like it.

Read the rules and knew it from last year. This is one of my stock bourbon. Love it.

What is this? It's weird in a bad way.
Mark Peters
Shaft
Favorite of day 2-8, for sure. Initially, I got a lot of alcohol, but it mellowed nicely and got better and better with each subsequent sip. I wish I had more.
James Hopkins
Tubs
Uneven floral smokeโForest things that come to mine.

After a long rest, I'm picking up peanut butter. Really? Surely I ate something weird. Finish lasts forever, which is pleasant, but not a ton distinctive from the nose or palate
John Boggs
I liked this one. Slow burn on the palate long after the sip. Little bit of cough syrup in there.
Christopher Reeves
band-aid
Trees. Medicinal. Maybe grass instead of trees? Definitely some hospital. Erin, there is some band-aid in there too! Gummy. I love it, wife hates it. I have been so off on the proof guesses but here's hoping.

Perplexing on type. Tastes similar to some aged Irish but leans to bourbon. Nose is oak and citrus and taste seems similar. Apricot and orange with honey. Finishes with banana. Seems a bit young. Didnโt love it.

Quotes
Perfectly acceptable but I wouldnโt choose to drink this. It is a mixer. If you made it into a rusty nail, it might be passable.

Unusual flavor profile! This mixes sweet corn with pepper. Wondering if this is the local bottle I picked.

Honestly canโt put a finger on this one. Iโm slightly confused. Granted itโs been a week, but still.

Instant caramel on the nose, but thatโs about it. Easy to drink, but kinda generic.

Not rotgut, but not for me. I'd be prone to use this as a mixer than a sipper.
Matt Eagle
Precious
Well, this is interesting. Tastes like a bourbon. The flavors are nicely layered with some spice at the end. Enjoyable in an unexpected way, so Iโd understand if some folks donโt love it.

Tastes like straight-ahead bourbon. Not getting much on the nose. Feels like a decent proof though. Gets sweeter and smoother the more I sip.
John McDowell

Love the flavor profile but seems too light/faint. Would like a little more pop. Rye? Japanese? Japanese rye?
Jim Brown

Now I'm second guessing myself.... scotch or Japanese whiskey? hmmm..
This is _almost_ really delicious. Nice and smooth, great flavor, sweet on the palate -- until that bitter awful aftertaste. And that's coming from someone who prefers scotch over bourbon.
Am I getting sick or does this have like zero nose?

I didn't love it, didn't hate it. Not sure I'd but this again, but if someone bought me a bottle, I'd still say thank you.

very light color - thought it was Irish until I gave it a whiff. It smells like if you mixed Four Roses and Sake together. Taste notes to me are honey/floral/vanilla. Not a very high ABV. Let it sit out a bit in the glass, and it changed. At first sip...hated it. After a while, it grew on me. Would buy
