I taste caramel and burning! : ) I thought it deserved to sit by the tiger curtains. This one is interesting. TGIF!

Zach Bennett

I have no idea what this is but it hurts so good

Some Mad Max home distilled gasoline burn happening here. Feels like I'm back in Bartertown...

Shortbread and a hint of green apple. Irish? Could totally be another Scotch. I’m gonna overthink this and blow it. Now I’m thinking maybe Japanese. It’s super light and sweet up front with a little bitty bite on the back end. It’s simple, but elegant, very drinkable. It’s got an almost smoky low note that makes me think Japanese as well.

Its floral scent floats through the air It must be a Scotch, I swear! Sweet blossoms greet my curios nose Like petals whirling as the wind blows. I do not like scotch, oh no But honestly, on me this one is starting to grow. I'd pour not one glass but maybe two. And for scotches I can only say that about a few. So do I like this Sam-I-am? What do I have to say about this dram? Would I drink one with Colleen? Yes indeed, that sounds serene!

Guessing between Scotch and Irish is so stressful!

What a relaxing setup!

Zach Bennett

Wow. Sweet up front with a sweet burn on the back end. Two scotch bangers in a row

Kevin Guyer

She said 'I think its a scotch, but I don't feel like I have a mouthful of bog. I kinda like it'. I said 'Hell, I'd do a Scotch Advent if he offered one' to which she replied 'Are you out of your mind? That is $&%^ crazy talk.' Now you have context for where scotch falls in our relationship, along with how comfortable she is in telling me what she really feels. The fact that she likes this one makes my much more likely to track it down, I dig it. If it is not a scotch ignore this word salad and I will crawl back into my cave.

%$#&. Cave it is. Still gonna buy a bottle. Whatever.

Caramel smooth, hints of vanilla. Easy drinking. Slow but light burn. Sign of peat. A good drink while sitting in my book dragon library...📚

Piney, Spivey and it keeps getting better. Taste like a rye, I hope it’s a rye.

Slow burst of burn on the backend. Moss-earthy flavor sits heavy in your mouth.

I blame my cold, but I don't smell a lot on this one. Kind of sweet, but really not sure. Music is good. Cheers people!

Solid burner upfront, but calms down after a bit like a baby throwing a tantrum before a rage nap.

Fairly classic bourbon nose. Cherry and brown sugar up front, cola toward the finish. Maybe a 92 proof? I don’t trust my judgment on ABV after yesterday. The oak is present but not aggressive. There’s a back note on the nose, like dusty spices or something, that’s quite pleasant. It’s super drinkable but still has some character. I like it! We’re watching the Illumination Grinch this evening. I enjoy the Tyler the Creator song he did for the soundtrack.

McKenna Beddingfield

McK

Yes to dusty spices. With a mix of moss!

Colleen Beyer

None

Smooooooth! I like it! Neat is perfect!

Zach Bennett

I would drink this again. Strong but smooth at the same time.

Kevin Guyer

She said 'Gah! It's like the China Syndrome! It's burning to my core!' - she was not a fan. Me, I like it. Hot, not overly complex - I've got simpler tastes I suppose. Regardless, I kinda dig it.

Sam Kube

Would I sip this bourbon here or there? I'd sip this bourbon anywhere. I get caramel on the nose, oh so sweet. After a long day this is a nice little treat Would I drink this with ole JK Of course I would, any day. Perhaps next week when I am down in Raleigh To miss that opportunity would surely be folly So do I like it, Sam-I-am? Of course I do, it's a fine dram. It's not too strong, it's not too wild. But is good to sip on, calm and mild.

So interesting...I a/b it with my staple BIB Evan Willams, and it was hotter to me...I guessed 110 proof!

Cinnamon, maple syrup…some heat. My favorite so far. I feel confident I’ve had this before though I can’t place.

Dan Sembler

As I age, I prefer this flavor profile more and more. Afraid to speak to confidently about what I think this is, this early in the calendar - but quite enjoyable. Definitely have had this before, but can't pit my finger on it. Light in color, very minor peat on the nose, light fruit on the palata (green apples predominantly). Very enjoyable, but a surprising pick for this early in the calendar. Watch, I'll be wrong in my pick now.

Jackie Connor

I don't love it, but I don't hate it. It's kind of growing on me. Pairing it with a newish song I like so maybe that's helping. ; ) I smell the fruit, but something is there that's not my fave. Still drinking it!! ; )

That is malted barley, friend. Green apple, no appreciable peat on the nose. Honey, shortbread, all the classics. Is it Glenfiddich 12? Honeyed pear on the palate, maybe a touch of peat? Tastes a little heftier than a standard 80 proof, but not bonded or cask strength. Nice English leather toward the middle of the glass. Now I’m thinking Highland Park, maybe the 15 at 88 proof? Anyway, I got to see Die Hard at the Byrd Theater tonight with the Wurlitzer as an opener, so no matter how this goes, I’m already a winner. Yippee-ki-yay…

die hard! amazing : )
