Notes

Nose - sawdust, caramel Palate - orange, spice Finish - straight up hellfire, but in a good way

Lovely start to the calendar! Strong, but very enjoyable.

So much better with drops of water.

Don't sniff this one too much. It's good at first then smells like nail polish remover. Good taste, but whoa. I need a fire extinguisher for my throat now. Can't believe this was last year's winner, haha!

Butterscotch and rubbing alcohol aroma, tasting pine and citrus with a buttery finish. Fine but forgettable.

Very sweet, citrus, apple, vanilla

Fine, but leaves a bit to be desired. I got a leafy/floral flavor.

Cinnamon taste, cherry on the nose

The nose- slightly better than smelling your own breath while wearing a mask. Taste- surprisingly delicious. Cherries 🍒!! Unique compared to others. I like it!

Palate Medicinal with a smoother finish, oak on the nose

Floral, citrus(orange?), nutmeg, cloves

Really enjoyed this. Toffee at first; smooth, sweet, with lots of flavor.

The smell curled my eyelashes and I got a little nervous I'd hate it. But this is a ninja whiskey. 🥷 Taste was much better than the smell and every sip tasted a little different. I got chocolate notes at the end but I could be wrong. 🍫

Well. The pictures say it all. 💩

Uh...no. So much to not like in this.

Getting burnt sugar on the nose like toasted marshmallows. Kind of orange and spicy and some smoke? Not quite sure what this is. Too much burn, not enough flavor.

At first whiff, I thought this was straight up tequila, and then thought no, it’s like scotch and tequila had a secret rendezvous in a cheap motel and nine months later this lil guy was born. Nice and smooth. Sweet and citrusy with a piney afterburn.

This tastes like an introduction to drinking the brown(ish) liquor

Very smooth, floral, slightly sweet, not too strong.

Hints of vanilla, leatherwood, cinnamon and spiced cider....

Well this one stumped me. I think my sense of taste was thrown off because of the bag of chips I ate beforehand. 🥔🍟Anyway! At first I hated the smell (pine? Medicinal?) And I thought oh here we go with another scotch. I didn't like the first sip, then the after taste changed for me. After a few sips it kinda grew on me. I'm going to guess something other than bourbon. If it's scotch, this will be the first one that didn't make me gag.

The smell is still a challenge for me, but I will go so far as to say that I actually *like* the finish on this one.

Sweet smelling, but strong, honey? , vanilla.

Very sweet, honey, cinnamon. Darker in color, I’m thinking bourbon? Very strong taste like wood.
