Hard to argue with last year’s winner. I always enjoy the burn of higher proof.

How could I ever have described this dram as "forgettable?" An explosion of caramelly berry baked in a pie that well-deserved its crown last year. Happy Advent to All!

Bright and balanced without leaving a lasting impression. Finish of oranges and vanilla. Not bad! But not great either.

A nice, light-bodied whiskey with notes of honeysuckle and lemon. I thought it might be Japanese but my wife told me not to overthink it.

Sweet start with a spicy finish. I’m guessing a bourbon with high rye bill in the mash.

Nose of a speyside scotch with the finish of a peppery rye! Really unique. Great dram.

Love the bright spiciness of this one. Floral and orange flavors on the finish. Delicious.

Nice spirit here, guessing a lowland or speyside. A bit gentle for my tastes, but some good citrusy flavor in the finish.

Did someone distill this with a rubber dildo? What is this weirdness?
Allan Maule

The nose promised a sweet appley dessert, only to have the taste betray me with coarse leathery notes. This is like when someone makes you a cake but uses only whole wheat flour. Stop trying to fix me, you don't know my life.

Honeyed and floral scents draw you in, only to disappear into a shallow palate of forgettable meh. A great sound and fury, signifying scotch.

Spicy and strong. My mouth is still burning, but in a "How much more can I stand?" way and not "I might need Poison Control" way.

Forgettable.

Tastes like the potent sherry sweetness of Glenlivet Nadurra. Amazing!

Charming dram. Sweet and plummy, like it was aged in sherry barrels.

Like cherries soaked in vanilla syrup and lit on fire. Whatever it is, it's barrel-proof!

Scotchy, but with a bit more sweetness and levity. Charming but the weak finish keeps it from standing out.

Nicely rounded and sweet. Excellent dram.

Like an orange cream pie. Delicious and sweet.

Tastes like a crisp and smoky young Ardbeg. Looking forward to reading angry comments on this one.
