John McDowell
Worm
Faint on the nose, but tastes excellent. I could see this being used for sipping or quality cocktail drinks. He has a flavor profile that I think would be higher and wheat like some of our previous strengths in the calendar.
John McDowell
Worm
No. Just no. It's either coffee or stout or some other barrel aged process making this taste the way it does. The hard part is, is this still bourbon or is it ‘other’? Makes me long for some good old fireball to rinse this off my palate
John McDowell
Worm
Maybe my favorite nose so far, like flowers but sweeter. Loved this, too easy to drink though.
John McDowell
Worm
Takes like bourbon mixed with a bunch of rye, but maybe still bourbon. Tasty, just enough heat.
John McDowell
Worm
Nose is sweet, but something slightly funky there as well, I can't put my finger on it. Very enjoyable overall. Tasty whiskey, I'll be curious to see what other people describe in the flavor
John McDowell
Worm
Nose started good enough...but the wheels came off. Slightly higher proof, but tastes like a 'nice' whiskey someone gave you as a gift because the guy at the store said it was good, but you just end up using it with mixers.
John McDowell
Worm
Tastes like a highlands scotch. Maybe not the best one, but still tastes good. Really enjoyed this.
John McDowell
Worm
Nose is great, but there's almost no body to it...like Mike Wazowski.

Hi proof, serious burn. I know it's last year's winner so I know it's good, but I don't think it's as good as I remember last year. I wonder if there's more rye in the mash bill compared to last year’s bourbon. Excellent sipping whiskey.
John McDowell
Worm
Mostly scotchy flavor. Maybe cheaper scotch? I don't know. I like it but wouldn't be surprised if this is Irish whiskey- ie cheaper scotch flavor.
John McDowell
Worm
Very nice. This may be mine. Taste like a bourbon mix with a heavy mixture of other grains. Not enough heat or sweet for me but still yummy.
John McDowell
Worm
This stuff is solid. Nothing jumps out, but that's probably a good thing. Easy to enjoy.
John McDowell
Worm
I can't think of anything else I could ask for from a scotch. Slightly sweet, slightly, smoky, slightly, Pitty, but definitely scotch and a reasonable proof. Amazing.
John McDowell
Worm
Bourbon on the nose but scotch on the finish. Prolly a scotch aged in some different barrel or thru tweaked a bourbon. I think it would taste better if I wasnt trying to figure out what it was. Apparently 'expectation' is a flavor
John McDowell
Worm
Gotta be a rye. Not a fan, but nothing bad- just not my flavor profile.
John McDowell
Worm
Bourbon with something done to it. A different barrel or something- well do e
John McDowell
Worm
Some sugary sweet flavor, vanilla? Idk. It's too much for this whiskey though.
John McDowell
Worm
Nothing overtly sticks out, which somehow seems perfect. I'm expecting something great given it's day 24, so that helps, but very enjoyable. Another great advent calendar.

This is A LOT hotter than I remember. Almost like this could be on an episode of "Hot Ones".

Smells incredible. Like putting cherries in my wheaties. But when I taste it, it's just so so. Kind of thin. Maybe better if in a mixed drink.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

A pretty good Scotch. Straight down the middle. Tastes like a partridge in a pear tree if the partridge flew away.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Pretty good and I get that nice sting. Fades kind of fast, but otherwise good.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Smells like a unique hard cider. Getting a little more oak and leather on the palate. The finish really lingers. Loving this one.

Like it and tastes like a good budget bourbon. The smell is solid, the palate is pretty good too, but the finish almost tastes medicinal.
