Pretty light and easy. Not a harsh Scotch but any means. If I didn't know better, I'd choose Irish... But I do know better.

Tastes like a sherry finished scotch with some peat on it.

Cherry bomb and I'm really enjoying it. The finish is a bit weaker than I'd like, but everything before that is wonderful.

Diggin' it. Group tasting with Erin and Greg where we all loved it. Really liked this one. So smooth and simple. Not the most complex, but consistent all the way through.

Surprisingly light. Tastes like a Scotch, but goes down much easier. I could see this as a daily drinker for sure.

Nose - notes of apple
Taste - packed with spice and smoke. Added ice and sweetness prevailed. I am enjoying this one - feels like a bourbon but sweetness is telling me a Rye.

It's like dusty varnish on the nose. Front palate makes me wanna say rye, but it sort of opens into classic bourbon cherry brown sugar flavors. Cherry cola finish.

Orange/citrus - nose. Packing some spice and heat
First thought was bourbon but the more I drink, the less I think itโs a bourbon.
Iโve had some good ryes and Iโve had some bad ryes.

Big green apple on the nose. Sweet on the palate. Decent body. Simple, but delicious.

Not a fan.

If a pixie stick was rescued from a house fire, thatโs this drink. Not loving it.

Lemon. I have no idea. Def not bourbon or rye. Not smooth enough to be Japanese.

This one's hitting pretty medicinal for me. It's like just the iodine notes of a peated whisky.

You know when you're standing next to a fire pit and the wind suddenly changes direction and you inhale a big mouthful of smoke.... That is this

I'm liking this one a lot. Getting a lot of strawberry and fruit punch on a long finish. Big fan.

Walks and talks like a bourbon. Finish is different. I thought I would enjoy it more on ice but that wasnโt really the case. This is the type that if someone offered it to me in their home, I would drink it. But not something I would go to the store to bring home. Average IMO
John Boggs
Kind of bland but it is pretty smooth. Not a hot one.

This one tastes like another straight ahead bourbon. Getting a lot of wood notes, especially the charred oak. Might just be the shock of coming off a run of malts. At this point I have zero confidence in my sense of proof.

Tastes like burningโฆ

Is this going to be our 13th consecutive Scotch? Hmm on first whiff it appears JK has come back to his sense. Very bold, good neat or on rocks

I'm digging the nose, but the rest of it tastes somewhat average to me.
Johan Martinez
Johan Martinez
Not much at the nose - strange. Ocean smell? Maybe apricots
Finish is very subtle - not much of a finish if you as me.
Did NOT enjoy this neat.

Smells yummy. I think Iโm going to enjoy this one!!!
Nose: Oak, orange/citrus, licorice
I thought it was a bourbon just by looks and smell. But now that I taste it, I am not sure what this is. Maybe if I keep drinking it will help confuse me more haha!
