Smells like Scotch...tastes like Scotch...one of these days, I will find one that I like. Peaty and tastes like sawdust.

Another bourbon. Lower proof than day 1. Nose - sweet/vanilla/oak. Taste - thin/cinnamon/oak. Prototypical bourbon.

Quotes
Feel the burn... it is strong and I love it. I get notes of cherries, caramel and spice. If you let it sit in your mouth, you can get a feeling for the high proof of this bourbon. Great start to the advent calendar.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Strong candy smell on the nose. Light and easy drinking with some subtle light fruit flavors. The pour and taste made me want to guess other. But... in the advent calendar when you're not sure just guess bourbon.

Quotes
Delicious scotch. More peat than smoke. I love it.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
This is delicious and the reason I love bourbon. Traditional sweet bourbon nose and lots of nutty and maple syrup flavor. A little lower on the proof but means I could drink it all day.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Taste like a blended scotch, not my favorite but it's easy drinking.

Quotes
Easy drinking, a little medicinal

Quotes
I get notes of saltwater on the nose (is it scotch?). It tastes familiar.... taste delicious and appreciate the entry

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

Quotes
Full Body hit a hole in one today. Wow! This is a spicy, buttery whiskey. Decent flavor, betting it is a rye.
Derek Glunz
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?
Derek Glunz
Quotes
I don't like the smell or the taste. This must be what it is like for Erin K. to drink Scotch.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Dark fruits and spice. Quite strong. I like it
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Favorite scotch of the year. Smooth and tasty.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
I get notes of saltwater and maple syrup on the nose. The flavor is watered down and boring. To quote PPP, this whiskey is "forgettable." I keep guessing other and regretting it, but here we go again...
Derek Glunz
Quotes
It's good, but I really just get flavors of dark fruits and ethanol.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Definitely a scotch from the nose. Smooth taste, not too much peat. I could drink this all night long

Derek Glunz
Quotes
Butterscotch on the nose. Sweet up front, a decent amount of heat and a little spice. Didn’t like it at first but it is growing on me.

Quotes
Some decent spice, goes down easy but not my favorite. My taste buds are screaming RYE!!
