Notes

I get tootsie roll in this one...which makes me think of my grandma, who called me that sometimes. I'll give this pour a nostalgia bump in the rating.

This is so confusing. Not a scotch, too dark for Irish, not a rye, so maybe a unique bourbon?? Tasty though.

Disgusting. Smells like a Wings beach shop. Tastes like stale apples. Please don't be my selection.

It's aight.

Yum! Thanks for this selection.

Delicious. Some raisin upfront, spicy finish, but not too hot. Water really opened up the brown sugar. Very nice.

Smoke & leather for me, maybe a little bit of popcorn.

I have pretty much no idea on this one. I need more sleep to sharpen and refine my taste buds.

Meh. It smells like medicine, kinda sweet and the color of pee. Kinda weird like a scotch, but not that peat or smokey scotch taste. Just smells like alcohol to me. Not a huge fan but it wasn't disgusting. So it's an other? Or one of the minor ones I haven't used in any of my other guesses. I'm guessing lower proof.

solid, smooth flavor profile; doesn't stand out too much, more like a reliable performer

Is this water?

I like it, even though most people are probably saying it's basic. I'm guessing most of the people that like scotch won't like this one.

The nose reminded me of those amazing red cherry "cough drops" we had as kids. I really liked this one, all the way through. Some sweet, some spicy, kept me coming back. Yes, please.

I was really excited at first, because the nose was all sweet and butterscotchey, but then I tasted it... ;-)

Fire flames hot. Peppery, high proof, but also something that tastes like scotch at the end. So it's either a rye, a scotch, an other, a weird bourbon, or something else that I probably won't get right.

Lovely, from first scent and sip to the last drop. Flavorful, warm, and enjoyable. That all said, I'm so confused about type and proof. I'm going with my gut here. Cheers.

Having faith that tonight's won't be a scotch, please for the love of God let the scotches be over.

Ew David. No.

This mellowed out over time, which was helpful, but still won't put it higher up on my list.

SO hot--but not in the Nate kind of way--hahaha! ;-) Adding water made a 100% difference, but still had some trouble finding flavors.

Yum! Cinnamon

Coming in hot! Wow this is spicy. Is it a rye or high proof or both? Smells like a cherry, tastes like a fireball. I need some milk and a Pepcid.
