This bourbon is like the commercial when the patient asks if the doctor is good and the nurse says ‘yeah, he’s OK’

Tastes some vanilla. Not overly complex but tasty
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Right down the middle. Loving it.
James Hopkins

Excellent finish—bold
Allan Maule

Light but really balanced and enjoyable. Lightly spiced caramel finish.
Josh Mitchell
Full Body
Pretty solid. Strong finish.
James Hatfield
Hanky
Sweet smooth and a hint of oak. I really like this. This is a very complete whiskey from nose to finish. 7/10

I don't hate it, but I don't love it either.
Mark Peters
Shaft
Do I like Scotch again?
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Definitely starting to enjoy scotch more. I think this is my selection Aberlour 12. Very smooth and a nice touch of spice

As they were developing whiskeys in Islay, I can't help but wonder what option 2 was. I mean, how bad did that drink have to taste for this to be the winner? I don't like this one, but can appreciate it's complexity and some of the flavors- the medicinal taste is a killer though

Islay? Fairly strong nose, but thin at first taste. The finish is not for me at all.
Mitch Mitchell
WeGo
Very strong finish and throat burn.
Allan Maule

Has the peaty iodine taste of an Islay malt. The relative lightness of the smoke makes me guess some kind of young Ardbeg.
James Hatfield
Hanky
Peaty Islay Goodness!!! This stuff is amazing. Tastes like Ardbeg 10. 9/10
Mark Peters
Shaft
Really enjoyed the first sip, but it fell off a little as I continued to drink it.
James Hatfield
Hanky
this is actually pretty complex. From the nose I thought it was bourbon, then tasted like an Irish whiskey. This one is a tough guess. Solid little whiskey. 6/10. Watch this be Japanese or Indian. Sheesh.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Too sweet and some sort of aftertaste, hope this wasn’t my pick
Mitch Mitchell
WeGo
SheGo and WeGo rate this very high with a nice finish.
Josh Mitchell
Full Body
Not a fan of this.
Allan Maule
PPP
Unremarkable. This one tastes a bit flat to me.
Matt Eagle

(Day 6) Familiar nose. Really like the smoke on the first sip. Could this be the year’s first scotch?? Very enjoyable!
James Hopkins
Tubs
Very complicated—not sure what to make of this one
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Really sweet, not a big burn. Really liking this one. I regret eating salt and vinegar chips right before.
