Yay, yay, yay--it's December!! I really enjoyed this one with a drop of water. I got some vanilla, maybe raisin.

I really enjoyed the aroma on this one, but that's about all. It was pleasant at first as a light, easy intro to the weekend, but I'm lookin' for more. I got chocolate and cereal on the front end.

So...scotchy, peaty, woody, but not smoky and distracting, so I can actually catch the flavors. Not saying I loved it, but it was fun to taste.

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!

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..
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
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.

Mrs Hef
This is BANANAS.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
This was the hardest by far. I'm stumped.

Mrs Hef
Blech. Tastes of horse manure (see photo)..
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Yes. Saving the best for the last week. I feel like this one was chosen for me. Thank you whoever submitted this one.

Mrs Hef
Welp, this is my fourth tasting tonight since I was out of town, so I might be wrong. But this one is bringing the heat!
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Is this the one time of year that I like a scotch reluctantly?
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
No.

Mrs Hef
Nah. Dog snarl upper lip on this tasting.
Erin Kraftchick
Mrs Hef
Blech.
