Maybe my favorite nose so far, like flowers but sweeter. Loved this, too easy to drink though.
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
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
Love the sweetness on the nose. Very light overall, but that is a good thing and I really enjoyed drinking this. I'm guessing another speyside entry.
John McDowell
Worm
Really enjoyed this, maybe not as much as some of the other scotches, but still really nice profile.
John McDowell
Worm
Nose is caramel. Nice flavor and structure. Like a dessert scotch
John McDowell
Worm
Nose, proof, and initial taste would put it at a 9,but the finish is just OK for me dog. I’m guessing a bourbon with a higher wheat content again. Seeng a lot of those this year, I hope this trend fades quickly.
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
The nose was scotch, the first taste was bourbon, then it was either a rye or more wheat on the bourbon. Fan of the sweeter nose, not so much the finish off sheet or whatever it is I'm testing.
John McDowell
Worm
Love everything about this- nose, taste, heat, finish- just wish you t had a little more punch...I need more cowbell!
John McDowell
Worm
Takes like bourbon mixed with a bunch of rye, but maybe still bourbon. Tasty, just enough heat.
John McDowell
Worm
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
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.
John McDowell
Worm
Some sugary sweet flavor, vanilla? Idk. It's too much for this whiskey though.
John McDowell
Worm
Tastes like a highlands scotch. Maybe not the best one, but still tastes good. Really enjoyed this.

So. Much. Banana.

First sip was amazing, but then I really didn't like it. Got worse as I drank it. Cleaning solution aftertaste makes me feel like this is an "Other".

Butterscotch and Vanilla give way to Smokey Spice. If you hold this Scotch to your ear, you can hear the Ocean.
