This is super sweet. I have zero idea what it is. But it’ll drank.

Delicious! Love the caramel, butterscotch sweetness with the lingering potency of a high proof whiskey. Hoping this is my Taylor...
Josh Mitchell

Loving this.
James Hopkins
Tubs
Burnt vanilla and an interesting citrus finish

I like the nose, vanilla and cinnamon on the palette but the medicinal burn on the finish is off putting
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
This one's got me guessing. Smells sweet and bitter, but tastes dry and fruity, then the aftertaste has a malt flavor to it. The weird combo really works for me though.
Mark Peters
Shaft
Scotch is good?
Mitch Mitchell
WeGo
Very good. I like the taste all the way through.
Now trying the second half on the rocks with a twist.
John McDowell
Worm
No idea what this is. Very good- mild flavor compared to the burn on the end.probably is less expensive than I think it tastes
Mark Peters
Shaft
So spicy on the palate, but a comparatively smooth finish, but only for a second, the alcohol reminds you of bad life decisions and lingers a little too long.
James Hatfield
Hanky
This taste like spices and earth.
Matt Eagle

This scotch is a straight banger. Love everything about it. Just the right amount of peat. Perfectly balanced for my taste.

Like the candied cherry in the nose and the orangey finish. This one is a sweet crowd pleaser, like the 18 bourbons we had in previous calendars.
Mitch Mitchell
WeGo
Interesting taste, maybe butterscotch or caramel.
Josh Mitchell

Kind of bland. Not bad, but not getting much from it.
Jonathan Cory Kraftchick
Hef
Very tough. I like it for sure, but not sure what I'm getting. Maybe some salt, wood, but not much sweetness. The finish does start to get sweet, but it takes a while to get there.
Derek Glunz
Quotes
Good, but not overwhelming in any way. A lot of burn on the end
John McDowell
Worm
Excellent. Maybe a less complex flavor profile? Which is probably better for me given I’m not good at recognizing all the flavors.
James Hatfield
Hanky
It tastes like eggnog with curry. It’s terrible. Never given a 1 before but this gets it.
Matt Eagle

Love the heat on this. Burn baby burn! Tastes familiar. Really enjoyable.

One of my faves from this calendar! Bright and floral with lots of vanilla and butterscotch. Look forward to the reveal on this one.

I'm pretty sure Hef submitted this and somehow found a way to mix cookies and whiskey together.
John McDowell

Someone mixed bourbon with Aunt Jemima’s syrup and a pine tree air freshener. Almost a hint of juniper which makes me think Elmer T Lee, but not nearly as good. I sipped enough to get an opinion but can’t finish this glass
Matt Eagle

Well, my wife said this is like drinking high-proof flowers, so we’ll go with that. Interesting. Neither of us could place this one. Wanted more from the finish.
