Johan Martinez

sweet aroma - somewhat apple/maple. I've learned to let the high proof sit in the ice ball for a bit.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Vanilla bombs are the best bombs. Merry Christmas (or whatever other holiday everyone!)

Dan Sembler

Fantastic. Excellent finish to the advent calendar.

Johan Martinez

no. but i still drank it :)

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

The Michael Jordan of bourbons. Welcome to the big leagues.

Johan Martinez

strong but sweet smell. aroma of apple and maybe caramel. wood smell after my initial taste/

Johan Martinez

Spice and strong. let the ice melt a bit and really enjoyed this one. Nice finish

Johan Martinez

not much of a fan

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Definitely not a bourbon, but not quite a Scotch. Loving this stuff. Really sweet on the end.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Tastes really familiar. Can't quite place it, but I love the heat.

Dan Sembler

Nose - Thick maple syrup. Palate - Vanilla and oak. My guess is a 10-12+ year aged bourbon

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Loving this. It's like a cigar made beautiful love to a peppermint and they created this bottle of joy that will inextricably link them for eternity.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

If this is scotch, am I starting to like scotch? If this is Japanese, am I starting to like Japanese?

Dan Sembler

Second night in a row I think this is a scotch. And it's probably the 2nd night in a row I'll be wrong.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Juicy fruit on the nose, ramen noodles on the finish. Tastes like college.

Dan Sembler

I have a hard time guessing between irish or scotch on this one. No peat, but some of the light fruit i'm used to drinking in scotch

Johan Martinez

Had this one one the rocks and I loved the taste and finish.

Dan Sembler

Holy hell, this is what we're talking about. Nose - caramel, dark fruit. Palate - Heaven. Vanilla and oak. Loooonnng finish. Is this Stagg Jr?

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Whoa whoa whoa! The nose is so easy, but the palate is nothing but cherries in heat. #cherriesinheat

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

I'm having a hard time placing this one. My heart says bourbon, but my tongue says rye. Neither is to be trusted. All in all, it's a consistent one that I like. The finish is a little weak, but that nose y'all.

Johan Martinez

Smells is nice and strong. hints of apple and cinnamon

Dan Sembler

The color is so light, i want to guess scotch. But, I'm getting a pretty strong rye hint on the palate.

Johan Martinez

Smooth and easy to enjoy

Dan Sembler

Nose - Green wood, pine? Palate - Cinnamon, vanilla, caramel. Finish - Strong, and very pleasant, lingering. This is the best thing the whiskey calendar has introduced this year.
