Looks like a flat soda, strong coffee flavor. I would not buy it again, cause it's bad

Full Body hit a hole in one today. Wow! This is a spicy, buttery whiskey. Decent flavor, betting it is a rye.

Quotes
Light fruit and floral. Soft easy drinking. There is a slight medicinal finish that puts me off. I really had trouble deciphering between Scotch or Japanese. Is this Toki from Suntory?

I don't like the smell or the taste. This must be what it is like for Erin K. to drink Scotch.

Not a huge fan. Complete guess on this one. Tastes kinda like an Irish whiskey or something like that?

This tastes exactly like a few bourbons on my shelf. chocolate-covered cherries/almonds on the nose. Has a little spice to it. I like it.

Holy heartburn. This one has some balls to it. Nose is sweet and juicy fruit. Port and Brandied cherries. Instant heartburn on taste. Hard to make it past the ethanol burn to get flavor. Taste like a port barrel or wine cask diesel fuel.

Another winner. Tastes like a good wheated bourbon. The nose is really sweet with fruit/vanilla/caramel/black tea. The taste is a bit weak and doesn't quite taste like the smell. It definitely passes the old-fashioned test.

Either really really oaky barrel proof bourbon, or Scotch. Going high proof Scotch. Nose is vanilla/crรจme brรปlรฉe/ oak. Have to make it past the ethanol to find the taste of raisins/vanilla custard.

Tastes like Scotch...but fruity. Glad we havent gotten into the ultra smoke/peat shops yet. I kinda dig the lighter fruity/floral sips. Super light in color and really fruity on the nose (peach/mango/banana). Jump of ethanol on the initial taste, but added a few drops of water and it calmed down. Still not a fan of Scotch, but this advent calendar has opened my eyes that Scotch has huge flavor swings. Good sipper, really good with the Bittermilk smoked honey.

Smells like a bourbon...looks like one...doesnt really taste like one though, kinda weak?...made a old fashioned with this one and it didnt come through. Tastes like Woodford to me.

Bussin...I think that's what they say. This and last night are two of my fav's so far. Not as sweet as last night, but more spice, even though it had a cherry nose to it.

ehh, not bad. Nose is white grape juice...taste is just weird
Ben Freeman

Hands down favorite...it's not coffee flavored though...points off.

Diggin this one. Fruity/honey/wine nose. Honey Nut Cheerios and raisins taste. Tastes like a bourbon and Scotch mixed together. Going with "other" tonight.

Smelled it...thought it would be a bourbon. Tasted it...now I have trust issues. Really oily finish that just hangs on for dear life.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Tons of flavor. Sweet peach on the nose. Hint of raisin. Lots of "burnination". Still feeling it.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Orange and cherry on the nose. Smells really sweet, but does not taste like it smells at all. Kinda funky and oily finish.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Definately a Scotch, but the IPA of Scotch. Floral/citrus/pine needles on the nose. Bitter finish. Actually drinkable Scotch. Little peat/ no smoke.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
I mean... it's not a coffee whiskey...but this is pretty good. It tastes as if RC Cola was a bourbon. The spice hangs around for a while
Ben Freeman

Ok, this one was as easy as Fireball...even Becca wants some. Sorry, not a barrel proof anything...or a smokehouse of a Scotch...its basically a Frapachino, but I like it...Picasso..

OK..zero idea on what the hell this is. Its sweet smelling, but has a very slight smoke to it. On the nose, I get melon fruit and honey. Taste has a mulled wine/Sherry note with a hint of smoke. I am in between Scotch and some crazy Indonesian whisky....other it is.
Ben Freeman

this one has some spicy burn to it. It smells like Honey Nut Cheerios. tastes like has a good deal of oak and rye spice to it. Not a fan...smell is nice, but the ethanol stays for a WHILE...
Ben Freeman

Tastes like scotch...but lighter/brighter. Looks exactly like piss. Grass/wheat/spice on the nose. Tastes almost "citrusy" with a texture that stays with you for a while....it could be some North Korean whiskey, but has a smoke and char to it.
