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

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.

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!
Chad Wiley
This isnโt for meโฆbut I triedโฆ

I'm really liking this. Smells like an apple orchard and tastes smooth. Scotch essence, but much softer.
Sam Kube

Smell is lovely, very floral, hoping it tastes as good as good as it smells... Not quite but still very nice. I want to say it's a scotch but JK wouldn't throw this many at us this early. Is it a rye?

Caramel and stewed fruit on the nose. Palate pretty simple up front but gets spicy on the back end. Feels proofy, but not crazy. I'm guessing something sherry cask finished. Safe money is Scotch, but something in me says Irish.

I'm almost tempted to call Irish, but it's got a hint of peat on the back end. Green apple and honeyed pear on the nose. Bit of mint on the finish. Some spice and shortbread in between. Tastes like a stately single malt.

Wow. That smell is pure octane. Apple and spices to the taste.
This one has me competent stumped. Not Irish, not rye.

Charcoal taste. Smooth but not my cup of tea. Scotch like but color is throwing me off a bit. Going to trust my gut and assume this one has some artificial dyes in it.

I cried when I drank this and I'm not sure if it was because it was so hot, so good, or I'm just emotional. Really liked it with a little water added to it.

Holy smokes. Tastes like I put soggy saltines in the smoker.
