This is a good Scotch, a little thin, but not too much. Getting apples and other scotchy things. Not at all offensive to the palate.

I like coffee and whiskey, but not sure I love this and not sure I hate it. That said, I think you're doing it wrong if you're not mixing it with Irish cream.

Not getting a lot on the nose, but really liked the leathery taste mixed with some sweetness. Reminded me of an old dude in a velvet sweater smoking a pipe. You know he's got stories and was likely famous in his day, but when you're chatting with him, he's only interested in listening to your take on politics, relationships and commiserating about not getting those Taylor Swift tickets. "Damn Ticketmaster", he says with a smirk. You share a laugh and then you part ways knowing you'll never see each other again. Or will you...

This one started out great. Getting baked apples and some citrus all the way through. But as I sipped it, it just felt like it was getting weaker.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Getting a lot of apple juice without the sugar. Kind of OK, but that's it.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
This is a harder scotch than the others. Kind of like the step dad of scotch. Your real dad is cool and loving and then your step dad comes around and tries to show you that love, but it just comes off more like an uncle who tries to get too close.

Having a hard time placing this one in anything other than vanilla flavored rubbing alcohol. I don't hate it, but the first feel on the palate is more bite than is comfortable. The finish is really nice and getting some vanilla wafer vibes. It just disappears quick.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Smells like alcohol, tastes like medicine. The finish goes quickly...and I'm kind of glad.

Hef
Banana on the nose, but it's really faint. Could also be that I have COVID.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Sour cherries for sure and a lot of oak. It's quite good. Not extraordinary, but could certainly sip on this everyday.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
It's as American as apple pie except it's Scotch.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Citrus on the nose and honey on palate, oak on the finish. So so so good. For a high proof, this is super calm.

Hef
This one is pretty smooth and easy to drink. Can't put my finger on it, but it's sweet and floral.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Pure unadulterated scotch.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Straight down the middle but with a bit more smoke.

Love that kick. Lots of cherries, almost soda like.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
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.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
This is A LOT hotter than I remember. Almost like this could be on an episode of "Hot Ones".
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
More like rubber bike tires that need to be changed. Wouldn't seek this out.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
It's good, but something about the finish just tastes undone. A little stronger would be wonderful.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
A pretty good Scotch. Straight down the middle. Tastes like a partridge in a pear tree if the partridge flew away.

Nose is great, but there's almost no body to it...like Mike Wazowski.
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.

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
