Notes

Smells incredible. Like putting cherries in my wheaties. But when I taste it, it's just so so. Kind of thin. Maybe better if in a mixed drink.

Pretty good and I get that nice sting. Fades kind of fast, but otherwise good.

Smells like a unique hard cider. Getting a little more oak and leather on the palate. The finish really lingers. Loving this one.

This is a good Scotch, a little thin, but not too much. Getting apples and other scotchy things. Not at all offensive to the palate.

I like coffee and whiskey, but not sure I love this and not sure I hate it. That said, I think you're doing it wrong if you're not mixing it with Irish cream.

Not getting a lot on the nose, but really liked the leathery taste mixed with some sweetness. Reminded me of an old dude in a velvet sweater smoking a pipe. You know he's got stories and was likely famous in his day, but when you're chatting with him, he's only interested in listening to your take on politics, relationships and commiserating about not getting those Taylor Swift tickets. "Damn Ticketmaster", he says with a smirk. You share a laugh and then you part ways knowing you'll never see each other again. Or will you...

This one started out great. Getting baked apples and some citrus all the way through. But as I sipped it, it just felt like it was getting weaker.

Getting a lot of apple juice without the sugar. Kind of OK, but that's it.

This is a harder scotch than the others. Kind of like the step dad of scotch. Your real dad is cool and loving and then your step dad comes around and tries to show you that love, but it just comes off more like an uncle who tries to get too close.

Having a hard time placing this one in anything other than vanilla flavored rubbing alcohol. I don't hate it, but the first feel on the palate is more bite than is comfortable. The finish is really nice and getting some vanilla wafer vibes. It just disappears quick.

Smells like alcohol, tastes like medicine. The finish goes quickly...and I'm kind of glad.

Banana on the nose, but it's really faint. Could also be that I have COVID.

Sour cherries for sure and a lot of oak. It's quite good. Not extraordinary, but could certainly sip on this everyday.

It's as American as apple pie except it's Scotch.

Citrus on the nose and honey on palate, oak on the finish. So so so good. For a high proof, this is super calm.

This one is pretty smooth and easy to drink. Can't put my finger on it, but it's sweet and floral.

Pure unadulterated scotch.

Straight down the middle but with a bit more smoke.

Love that kick. Lots of cherries, almost soda like.

Like it and tastes like a good budget bourbon. The smell is solid, the palate is pretty good too, but the finish almost tastes medicinal.

This is A LOT hotter than I remember. Almost like this could be on an episode of "Hot Ones".

More like rubber bike tires that need to be changed. Wouldn't seek this out.

It's good, but something about the finish just tastes undone. A little stronger would be wonderful.

JK: Ok start with is it smoky, is it bitter, is it sweet? Sam: Sweet JK: Great, now is it chocolatey is it fruity? Sam: Fruity JK: Apple or dragon fruit? Sam: Apple because I don't know what dragon fruit it
