I'm going with Rye on this one because it would be pretty incredible aside from that horrible rubbing alcohol at that lingers and destroys all the great flavor. Probably great as a Manhattan! Really nice sweetness until it's all burnt away.
But my palate has been off this entire season so what do I know.

I cried when I drank this and I'm not sure if it was because it was so hot, so good, or I'm just emotional. Really liked it with a little water added to it.

Holy smokes. Tastes like I put soggy saltines in the smoker.

This is really good. I honestly have no idea what this is. Big honey and vanilla flavor up front to me.

It's got some spice and herbal notes, but I'm not going to let myself talk myself into calling it a rye. Definitely high octane. Tough to rate because it seems quality but not my favorite flavor profile.

The syrupy taste is throwing me off. Lots of spice but just not enjoying the mouthfeel.

Sweet and bringing the heat! Much needed to burn away the disaster of days 8 and 9.

Everything about this pour burns. It has a spicy kick, and I'm not sure if that's a young whisky or just higher proof.

Itโs hot & tough to get much flavor from. A couple drops of water helped.

How is this worse than day 8. My photo says it all. Dirt, dead leaves, graphite and pencil shavings. Topped with a mix of baby spit up which I did not have on hand. True to who I am at my core, I hate scotch.

It tastes likeโฆburning. Incendiary and sugar cookie mixed. Amazing. My highest rating in a while.

Really, really like this. Super sweet on the front, palate lingers with spicy cinnamon toast crunch. Super long finish. Can't wait to see what this is.

Scotch, I dig it.

Getting honey and ethanol on the nose, which makes me think high proof. But on the palate it's pretty smooth with notes of caramel and warm baking spices almost like nutmeg or cinnamon. The finish is peppery which throws me off, its gotta be a bourbon or rye, right?

Vanilla. This one is straight down the middle. Cydne says no i hate it. Lots of spice, cinnamon, heat. Yo this is v hot. Warms my entire torso, feels great after a minute!

Man that have a lot of proof on nose and at first taste. Way better with a bit of water. Turns to a nice balanced whiskey with nice sweet vanilla and brown sugar.

This. Is. Amazing.
Maybe a Laphroag? Wonderful sweetness (oak? Fruit? Honey?), perfect amount of peat and smoke. By some dark majicks , all the layers linger individually so every sip is incredible.

This one burned my lips it was so strong. I can tell that itโs good, but itโs just too high proof for me to really enjoy.

Sweet, hot sugar. Yum. Melts in the mouth and leaves fire behind.
