Notes

Like it. Like it a lot.

Strong cherry and brown sugar aromas, hitting the palate with the same flavors but also a bit of oak. Breathing fire with this one. Maybe a bit too much.

Great nose of brown sugar and dark fruits. Super strong with a little too much bite. Is this finally Worm’s pick? I like it, but not as much as that Larceny barrel proof.

Reminds me of some Stagg Jr. I had once. The nose reminds me of leather and tobacco. Very good. Whatever this is it's a great way to end the calendar! Merry Christmas!

Great drink…. For a Rye. That burn just destroys anything good about them.

Hot liquid magic

This is delicious… heavy heat. Guessing high proof? Definitely nice to sip on …High score incoming

Dusty nose at first. Classic cherry brown sugar. Finish for days. Almost wine finished flavor.

It tastes like.......burning.

Simply the tits

Finishing out 2021 on a high note. Thank you Cory for another wonderful year of advent fun.

Jonathan Kraftchick is a scholar and a gentleman. Another great year. Thank you so very much for putting this thing together. I’m so thankful to be a part of this. I give you a 10 out of a 10. Thanks again brother.

Nice nose with Dark cherries, sweet caramel & toffee. Got a little heat on the palate with honey, nutmeg, and oak. Finishing off with a spicy, peppery finish

I keep guessing it’s mine since I still have one left. Great everything, perhaps a little more wheat profile than I’d prefer, but tastes amazing

Well well well…if it isn’t the process of elimination. Mine. Epic in so many ways- flavor, proof, finish, nose, and other words people have used to describe whiskey this calendar. Very woodford-y, just way more Woodford-y than woodford.

This tastes like the Elijah Craig barrel proof...but stronger. Smells like pecan pie and vanilla ice cream. Tastes like it smells. Gonna go grab a cube once I finish wrapping a shit ton of presents. Zero sleep here I come. In all honesty, Cory, thank you for putting this together. You can tell a TON of thought and work went into this. This was the first year where I took it seriously and didnt miss a night...I have a much better appreciation of various whiskeys and learned a ton. I also realize that I can taste the difference between the bottles and also found out I am not a big peaty/smokey fan...shocker. Maybe a sleeve of Chips Ahoy next year?

Such a gentle nose for a sucker punch of power. Cask strength rye? Yes please.

Nose was nice but got much sweeter and Carmel like when added the needed ice to it. Taste needed taming but opened up nicely. Honey and spice

Strong alcohol smell, makes it hard to pick up notes by smell alone. It has a nice, complex bourbon taste on the back end, really like this one.

Phew--it's hot. Maybe some cherry or raisins, woody? Thank you SO much for another wonderful advent! I love it, and can't wait for next year! Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

What a great way to wrap up the calendar. Oak on the nose, with some nice heat on the finish.

Woo!

Mmmm. Strong finish to 2021. Loved it. Spicy, vanilla, caramel ... with some kick.

Outstanding. Biggest family appeal to date.
