very light color - thought it was Irish until I gave it a whiff. It smells like if you mixed Four Roses and Sake together. Taste notes to me are honey/floral/vanilla. Not a very high ABV. Let it sit out a bit in the glass, and it changed. At first sip...hated it. After a while, it grew on me. Would buy

So smooth- hope this is one of my choices.
The proof with scotch is always higher than it seems for me, tastes like a highland or speyside one

I think I know this scotch from the nose.
Smells like a seagulls armpit and taste like an oil slick. And it’s delicious.

Hello scotch! This is very pleasant and very drinkable. I’d suspect this would be approachable for novice scotch drinkers. If I’m being super nit picky, I want there to be a bit more body and interest in the flavor profile, but it’s inoffensive in every way.

Has the citrus and honey notes of a young MaCallan or Glenmorangie. Tasty, but unremarkable.

I want to like peaty scotches, I really do....I just don't.

Didn't like it at first, but after letting it open a little, really liked it. Little too much ethanol that lasts.

Sweet, citrusy, and undefined finish.

I'm pretty high right now, but this really good. Sweet then spicy in all the right ways.

Vanilla, long finish, so good. Best one so far.

Not a fan. Too sweet. Tastes like someone made bourbon from a powder mixed with water and didn’t dilute it enough.

Getting some high octane tropical fruit flavors and I'm here for it. Liking this one a lot.

Pretty tasty, I get licorice and dark fruits. A little too much burn on the end. Slightly licorice, hope it’s not Rye and I guessed wrong again. Enjoying this bourbon from my hotel room after a long day of sale’s meetings.

I like the heat on this one! Burn baby, burn! Ideally the pallet would round out a bit more, but it’s quite a decent dram overall. I feel like it’s a bourbon, but it could be another sweet rye in sheep’s clothing.

Unusual flavor profile, but it made me say "What is THAT?" rather than "Oh wow. I mostly just taste the fire and pepper of rye. Opens up a bit more after the first 4 sips.

This is just nasty. Tastes like a Tootsie Roll that was left at the bottom of a swimming pool.

So far, this is my favorite. It is a bit sweet, but I do like that profile. Vanilla (shocker), nutmeg, almonds.

It’s a little bland, not much heat and a little flavoring that just doesn’t taste right.
John McDowell

Good nose but mouth feel and finish feel cheap…like they could really make this excellent if they tightened things up.
James Hatfield

I hope I didn’t select this one. It’s bad.

Tastes like a young whiskey that was stuck in sherry or port wine barrels at the end. Interesting attempt, but falls flat.
