Sweet Smokey goodness. Most wonโt like this one but I truly love it. Itโs magic.

Nice nose. Having trouble pinpoint what type this might be. Really enjoyed this one. Doesn't seem that high of proof, but could definitely see this one being a bottle to pick up.

Smoky scotchโฆlittle much for me. Will save it for my islay-loving friends who visit.

Nose and first hit on the tongue is like a cherry danish. Some leather on the end. Decent, certainly what I wanted at this moment.

This is my jam. Smoky and peated with an earthy sweetness like autumnal malts.
Looking forward to all the divided opinions to come.

I'm liking this one a lot. Getting a lot of strawberry and fruit punch on a long finish. Big fan.

Tell me this doesnt smell like nail polish remover

Alright now! My favorite so far. Good one to have on Reeces birthday. Please don't be a sneaky scotch or something weird in disguise.

Walks and talks like a bourbon. Finish is different. I thought I would enjoy it more on ice but that wasnโt really the case. This is the type that if someone offered it to me in their home, I would drink it. But not something I would go to the store to bring home. Average IMO

Got balance of heat and flavor. Really nice

Rye or bourbon? Is this equivalent to the gunshot or fireworks guessing game for Durham sounds? Enjoying the spicy finish and cinnamon.

Thankful for a reprieve from the smoke of recent days. Nice & spicy.
John Boggs
Kind of bland but it is pretty smooth. Not a hot one.

This one tastes like another straight ahead bourbon. Getting a lot of wood notes, especially the charred oak. Might just be the shock of coming off a run of malts. At this point I have zero confidence in my sense of proof.

Really like this one. Sweet and rich.

Tastes like burningโฆ

There we go. This is a drinker right here. Iโve been saying some of the other ones were strong and have been way off but this one I feel like has some real bite. But I get into that sort of thing because Iโm weird.

Great nose, super smooth. Cask strength bourbon. A little caramel

Is this going to be our 13th consecutive Scotch? Hmm on first whiff it appears JK has come back to his sense. Very bold, good neat or on rocks

Grass and herbs with toffee and fresh sawn oak on nose. Taste is a bit sweeter with cinnamon and pepper finish. The grassy notes with spice and pepper are leading me straight to rye. Samples next to a few ryes and bourbons and quite a strong oak relatively. I like it. Complex.

Solid choice. Not running out to buy it from blind tasting but has that sweet hit sugar I love.

Liking this a lot. I could sit down to a glass of this most nights to combat the ennui and impending threat of AI. It might take my job, but it won't drink my whiskey.

Iโm not really connecting with this one. Feel a bit like a one trick pony, and Iโd like a little more character out of a dram. A bit too much charcoal and rough spice throughout without evolving into something more interesting. Not bad, just not for me.
