This whiskey is like a candle...smells awesome, tastes bad and lots of burning. I liked the heat and the nose, but something on the flavor profile is not sitting right with me. So close to being great

Aaron Carter

Very good! Pairs well with National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Vern McClendon

feel the burn - i like it

James Hatfield

Hanky

I have no idea what this is. It’s super complex.

Zach Bennett

Tasty. Real strong. Singed my nose hair trying to nose this one. Luckily I have plenty left.

Matt Eagle

Precious

Now this is delicious. Helloooo mamma.

Matt Roberson

very tasty. bold but still smooth

Michael Capps

Capps

tastes like my redbreast comparison tester, but way hotter, what is this?

Michael Capps

Capps

Spicy and the butterscotch is lovely. This just a touch hotter than my EW tester... but how much... argh

Zach Bennett

Also tasty. This entire experience was incredible.

Michael Capps

Capps

No idea what this is. Inappropriately narrowing down the 'breakdown' list tells me it's a 'rye' or 'other'. The afterburn feels like chili peppers rather than alcohol the way it sticks with you. But it's got a bit of smoke that makes me think scotch. Dammit. It's not bad.

Brandon Eagle

A bit too much fire for me. Great flavor so I can understand why it would be delicious to some

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Can't place this. 24 is usually something odd...

Mark Peters

Shaft

One of my favorite Bourbons of all time. If it's what I think it is. Also, how did you find it? (If it's what I think it is.)

Mitch Mitchell

WeGo

Very strong from beginning to the end

Allan Maule

Probably the best finish of the calendar, like this spent time in Pinot barrels. Rich and plummy.

Nate Knuffman

Toasted marshmallow and maple on nose. Light wood, cinnamon, and spice. Nice way to finish another fun year.

Hallie Knuffman

Brown sugar and caramel upfront. Spicy and hot on the way down. Very nice end to this year's calendar! Thank you for another great calendar and opportunity for fine tasting!

James Hopkins

Tubs

Good—cinnamon vanilla finish...

Scott Beckett

Pretty muted nose at first. Crazy dynamic palate. A drop of water brought out baking spices for me.

Josh Light

Nose has a caramel/toffee smell with some undertones of vanilla and butterscotch. Smooth on the palette with tastes of honey and vanilla throughout.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Sort of reminds me of 23. Burn on the first few sips, but just keeps getting better. Getting flavors of caramel and slightly floral

Teryn Glunz

Getting a lot of fruit right off the bat but mellows into more caramel and toffee aromas. Spiiiicy and quite a burn, but pretty good.

John McDowell

Worm

Superb. Seems like scotch and bourbon together again, but this is the smoothest one. Great nose, heat, flavor, everything. Great calendar Hef, thanks so much.
