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.
Chad Wiley
Smooth tasting scotch, which scares me because I didnโt think I liked scotchโฆ

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 Iโve had in a while? Def donโt get the bourbon but maybe finished in oak barrels. I donโt hate it and I donโt love it - itโs like Thursday Night Football. You watch it because thereโs nothing else to watch ๐ฅน

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. Iโm 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.

First taste I am thinking full synthetic oil - Mobil.
Hard pass. Might mail this one back to HEF. ๐

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 Iโve had this one before

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.

Cherries and brown sugar. Yum!

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.
