Very soft. I'm liking it. Smelling the fruit, mostly apples with a little tropical flair. Kind of waxy on the finish, but I like it. Tastes like a mother's hug.

Cool pic!

I must be off my game this year because I'm confused already lol. Or I'm inching closer to tolerating scotch every year. Nose was good, not offensive . First taste was fruity then a scotchish finish but not totally scotch (this is where I always think maybe rye or other). Kinda get tobacco. I'm going with my gut and initial reactions this year. You over think it and you'll probably get it wrong..

Greg Baur

Nose it light and fruit forward with a lot of apple, apricot and citrus. Taste is light and fruity and sweet. like oaky fruitcake. Quite nice.

Mark Peters

Shaft

Pretty good

Would I drink this whiskey Sam-I-am? Based on the first few sips, I am not a fan. It's very clear, it has not been aged for long. It also doesn't have much of a smell, what is wrong? Would I drink it chilled or neat? As long as this is a selection we do not repeat. It tastes like water, it's not so bold More like pretending to be whiskey, if truth be told. Is it awful? No just bland That is all from Sam-I-Am So Day 2's bottle, I must confess It's simply just is not the best.

Yuck…until I added two drops of water and let it sit…a bit better after that.

Great way to start things off this year! Loved going to Mystic. Thanks!

Sam Knoll

This one carries more bitterness than the first option. It has a very long finish but not an enjoyable finish

David Pearson

This is nice and smooth so I'm guessing a less peaty Scotch.

Colleen Beyer

None

Not a fan, may need tums…feel the burn (I’m being dramatic)!

Light and easy drinking but a medicinal flavor to it. Not my favorite, probably a scotch.

Mrs Hef

Derek! Thank you for the shout out. 😁 I liked this one!

Kelsey Harkins

Preferred Day 1, but this is a nice sipper. Light with a little grainy sweetness.

Zach Bennett

This was fantastic. Would definitely buy this and drink again.

Josh Light

Light with soft hues of a delicate dram with the nose of salt water that i equate from the peat from scotch. I'm really trying to come around to scotch but with a finish that is so flat and one note its tough to get behind. It's an easy drinker, but its just not for me.

McKenna Beddingfield

Such a sweet smell with a honey flavored burn. High spice. Light flavor. Pretty good for a drink after talking about chicken pie and Copilot to the entire Firm where I work.

love this pic! : )

Nate Knuffman

Nice and fruity light bodied scotch. Tasting apple in particular. Very easy drinking.

Hallie Knuffman

Is this one of those few scotches that I can tolerate, and perhaps even enjoy a bit? Some smoke & peat, but not too much. I get lots of apple on the finish. On the sweet side, but I don’t hate it.

Erin Kraftchick

Mrs Hef

Hallie that's exactly what I said lol

Dan Flecker

Dan “Alex’s Friend” Flecker

This is definitely my favorite so far! Color is lighter than Day 1. This one is less dehydrated than the first one too. More Golden than Amber. Nose is initially sweeter. Much stronger smell as well. Softer first impression taste. I think that maybe this one has less alcohol than day 1. Maybe its because of the smell and taste, Maybe its just because I want to feel like I know what I might could be deducing. Looking at the different styles available, I'm feeling like this might not be a bourbon. Canadian or Irish maybe? I think I'll lean towards Irish... just to make a decision. Overall, I’d definitely put this in my coffee… or Dr. Pepper. So we're still trending in the right direction.

That’s a great glass

Seaweed and moss. light. goes easy. Did you throw a Japanese in there right off the bat? Right down main street, subtle and muted. Water pulls out some wood, a little sweet butter? Day 2 and I'm already lost. Love it!

Matt Eagle

Precious

This smells and tastes so familiar. I’m going to kick myself when I reveal what it is. Very light bodied, and has a bit of a bite. Leaves me a bit wanting, but overall not bad.

Kevin Guyer

First reaction: "I think peat was near it" - I feel it is kind of thin, we think it is a scotch. As this all plays out it is clear that I like it more than Sam does. I'd even consider buying it if the price is reasonable. I'm no Sultan though. Or an Earl.

Jackie Connor

JC

Hi Kevin! : )

James Hatfield

Hanky

It’s delicate. Not too boozy. It’s not an easy one to guess.

Kevin Guyer

Delicious. "I wouldn't kick it out" is what I was told. ;)

Loved this after it simmered for a minute!
