The pendulum has swung the wrong way. Too. Many. Scotches.

Scotch...for those times when you want to look forward to something all day, and then be let down.

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

Is this WT101?
Ben Freeman

Tastes like scotch...but lighter/brighter. Looks exactly like piss. Grass/wheat/spice on the nose. Tastes almost "citrusy" with a texture that stays with you for a while....it could be some North Korean whiskey, but has a smoke and char to it.

OK..zero idea on what the hell this is. Its sweet smelling, but has a very slight smoke to it. On the nose, I get melon fruit and honey. Taste has a mulled wine/Sherry note with a hint of smoke. I am in between Scotch and some crazy Indonesian whisky....other it is.

Ok, this one was as easy as Fireball...even Becca wants some. Sorry, not a barrel proof anything...or a smokehouse of a Scotch...its basically a Frapachino, but I like it...Picasso..

I mean... it's not a coffee whiskey...but this is pretty good. It tastes as if RC Cola was a bourbon. The spice hangs around for a while
Ben Freeman

Definately a Scotch, but the IPA of Scotch. Floral/citrus/pine needles on the nose. Bitter finish. Actually drinkable Scotch. Little peat/ no smoke.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Smelled it...thought it would be a bourbon. Tasted it...now I have trust issues. Really oily finish that just hangs on for dear life.

Diggin this one. Fruity/honey/wine nose. Honey Nut Cheerios and raisins taste. Tastes like a bourbon and Scotch mixed together. Going with "other" tonight.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Hands down favorite...it's not coffee flavored though...points off.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
ehh, not bad. Nose is white grape juice...taste is just weird
Ben Freeman

Bussin...I think that's what they say. This and last night are two of my fav's so far. Not as sweet as last night, but more spice, even though it had a cherry nose to it.

Smells like a bourbon...looks like one...doesnt really taste like one though, kinda weak?...made a old fashioned with this one and it didnt come through. Tastes like Woodford to me.
Ben Freeman
Wildcard
Tastes like Scotch...but fruity. Glad we havent gotten into the ultra smoke/peat shops yet. I kinda dig the lighter fruity/floral sips. Super light in color and really fruity on the nose (peach/mango/banana). Jump of ethanol on the initial taste, but added a few drops of water and it calmed down. Still not a fan of Scotch, but this advent calendar has opened my eyes that Scotch has huge flavor swings. Good sipper, really good with the Bittermilk smoked honey.

Either really really oaky barrel proof bourbon, or Scotch. Going high proof Scotch. Nose is vanilla/crรจme brรปlรฉe/ oak. Have to make it past the ethanol to find the taste of raisins/vanilla custard.

Another winner. Tastes like a good wheated bourbon. The nose is really sweet with fruit/vanilla/caramel/black tea. The taste is a bit weak and doesn't quite taste like the smell. It definitely passes the old-fashioned test.
