Notes

Is this another cocktail to end the calendar? Tasting everything here Not a fan

Oh man. Brown sugar. Caramel. Maybe some like spiced orange. That's delightful. A fitting send-off to another great Whiskey Advent.

Wow. This one holds back on the sweetness until the end. Kind of like me.

Well this one has quite the punch, doesn't it? I like it a lot. Tons of tropical fruit, vanilla and a ton of heat. If it were dialed down just a touch, it'd be almost perfect.

It’s Christmas Eve Eve (Friends reference)! Cinnamon spice, honey. Higher proof. Nice finish but I definitely would sip on a nice big ice ball

It's brown sugar and brown butter and cherries, but hinting at red apple and pear. Just massively dense. I should probably add water but I don't want to.

Pretty solid fruity flavors. I like it, but kind of right down the middle. Not sticking out which isn't necessarily bad. If the price is right, this could a nice house Scotch.

Big fan of the chocolatey notes in this one. I'd have to be in a certain mode and not one I'd drink everyday.

Apple, lemon. Spicy and licorice but short finish. Like a smoky scotch. Not a huge fan beat -

Spice spice baby! Maple smells Not a bourbon in my mind but I am a bit perched from the gym. I actually enjoy this one on ice

Really fruity nose. Smells like a malt. Light peat maybe. Fruit up front. Little black pepper on the finish.

Smooth tasting scotch, which scares me because I didn’t think I liked scotch…

The nose is pretty tight up front, but it smells like malt. Front palate is pretty simple shortbread vibes, but it opens up in the middle and the finish into orchard fruits. Lovely and composed. Feels full bodied but not overly burn-y. I'm thinking Japanese.

I just keep walking the proof down the more I drink it. Not sure if that will work out for me.

I'm digging this one. Chocolate, sweet fruit, but singing like a scotch. Pretty pretty pretty good.

On the higher proof range. Nose is not working today. This might be the darkest scotch I’ve had in a while? Def don’t get the bourbon but maybe finished in oak barrels. I don’t hate it and I don’t love it - it’s like Thursday Night Football. You watch it because there’s nothing else to watch 🥹

This one's interesting ... dark in color like a bourbon, but none of the taste profile. Getting peanuts and toffee on the palate. Pretty short finish

Chocolate orange scotch. Yes please.

Feels like the mashbill is having a tug of war between wheat and rye with the person drinking it paying the price. The proof is certainly up there which I don't hate, but the flavor is a miss for me.

Cinnamon for sure - is this a glorified fireball? I had a bulleit once that tasted this much like cinnamon but probably not that. On ice it definitely taste different than warm and neat. I’m torn here.

It's got wood varnish, licorice, and herbal notes. that are going to lead me down the garden path to mislabelling it rye again. It's complex and full bodied, but not my favorite flavor profile. More interesting than delicious.

Scotch…you’re growing on me…

First taste I am thinking full synthetic oil - Mobil. Hard pass. Might mail this one back to HEF. 😉

From the pour my mouth was watering. Not a big neat drinker but this one was nice. I could see me getting fancy with the marble cubes to not water this one down. Feel like I’ve had this one before
