Notes

This one is really nice. Floral and fruity, maybe bubblegum on the nose? A little bit of mineral/chemical taste, but in a really positive way. Really got me to sit back, relax, and enjoy the sips.

All the qualities of Scotch that I know--peaty, smoky, grassy. The nose was a little sour & medicinal for me, loved the front flavor, didn't love the finish. I appreciate the opportunity to keep tasting & learning more about these smoke shows. ;-)

A sweet bread on the nose, banana nut maybe? Then peanut brittle on the tongue. I feel like I know this one...?!?! Like it a lot.

Scotch-like, but seems too mild and is missing the gross smoky aftertaste.

Did Nate rate this a 10? I don't know what to do with it; the flavor is good, but not sure I want to mix my morning and evening drinks.

Very nice. I liked the depth. Couldn't find much distinctive in the flavors, but that's not a knock on the whiskey, more so on my palette tonight.

Nose was challenging, but I kept getting some cinnamon? Maybe speyside again, since it's light on the smoke & aftertaste? Look at me, trying to learn some things about scotch!

This one is really nice. It smells and tastes familiar. Lots of brown sugar up front, nice finish.

Very solid, but not outstanding. Fragrant, a bit earthy.

Hard to nail down after a bottle of wine and bag of peanut brittle on the palate, but I like it. Strong finish to a great calendar. Thank you Cory for all the work you put in, as always..

Very good. Way to (almost) end the calendar.

I like it but me thinks it's a scotch. Also hard to rate and score after a bottle of red wine. We're at the end folks, it's all downhill from here.

This is BANANAS.

This was the hardest by far. I'm stumped.

Blech. Tastes of horse manure (see photo)..
