Notes

Okay but I thought moonshine was clear whiskey so what is 90% clear whiskey

I honestly thought I was putting water into my glad. This is definitely the lightest colored whiskey I've ever seen. Pretty good. Mild.

Strong and Japanese, burning like a sumo wrestler who learned his chankonabe was overspiced.

Nice dram, not my favorite scotch but tasty

This one stumped us. Don't love it. OK, kinda has no fans here, however, someone is going to be right about the style and will LORD IT over the fool that got it wrong. Our love is complex.

One of these has GOT to be Irish. Part of my problem is that I'm starting to like all the whiskeys ... which makes it harder to guess the type.

Not loving this. Like drinking hot wax.

Decent. Playing catch up again. 4 days behind. Arghhhh.

Like getting a sweater for Christmas, it's pleasant, but not exciting.

medicinal. Little rubber. Earth again. Moderately well hydrated but doc would say drink more water. Oh yes ok. Brine. Lermon, honey, barley. Love it. This is my type of Whisky!

Smells like sake and melted taffy. Light color makes me think not bourbon. Upon taste, what the heck is that. Some peat and smoke but not too strong. Scotch but weird, or other like Japanese?

Lord yes.

Hot rum raisins lit on fire.

Hot damn that hurt

Solid scotch. If it’s Islay, the pettiness is very mild delicious.

Yummy peaty and perfect. Haters will hate on this one. Please acquire the taste.

The year is 2137. I’m standing in the middle of a city, rain starts pouring down. Of course I have to find shelter, the acidity of the precipitation has been dangerous for decades. I duck into a small lean-to shop on the side of the street to wait out the rain, hoping the roof of this spot is strong enough to withstand the acid. ‘Noodles?!’ The shopkeeper asks. ‘No, thank you I’m not in the mood for noods’ I say. ‘Novelty Kazhoo?’ He asks insistently, holding up a small plastic instrument ingraved with the initials ‘P.S.R’ I raise an eyebrow. ‘Never been the musical type, but maybe you could help me. I’m looking for someone, a deserter from the asteroid mining corps. The C-suite don’t take kindly to their workers jumping ship. His name is Paul Seymor Reinstard. Happens to line up with that kazhoo. Know anything?’ The shop keeper slowly raises his arms in a shrug, his mouth turning into a shit eating grin. ‘Information has a price, purchase something for enlightenment.’ ‘Fine’ I say. ‘Give me some of that’ I point to a decanter of brown liquid. ‘Excellent’ he pours a dram into my flask and begins to divulge all the info he has. I picked this shop specifically, the rain was just a happy accident to cover my intentions. I got what I needed, enough of a clue to move forward on my hunt. I step back into the acid rain, now no more than a drizzle. I text a message to the fixer who hooked me with this job telling her I found the leak in the organization, noodle shopkeepers shouldn’t be so loose lipped. I sip the whiskey. It’s not bad.

A peach in the middle of a batch of peppers. An apple in the middle of assorted spices. A cantaloupe in the middle of a contentious wedding. A spoon of yogurt in a spicy soup. A spot of shade in the middle of a desert. A toe-dip in a pool in the middle of a drought. A funk song in the middle of an R&B set. A piece of blue cheese in the middle of a plain sandwich.

🔥🔥

Can’t believe we are on 20! All I get is green apple and oak on the nose. Like jolly rancher green apple which is the worst of all. Taste is same with like fresh leather. Not my fav style scotch/japanese.

Not really a fan of this one, unfortunately.

This. Is. Disgusting.

Not a scotch guy but this has been my favorite scotch we’ve done so far

Solid dram. Super hot and long nice vanilla finish.
