Notes

A decent bourbon.

Hard time identifying the nose maybe grassy lemon which makes me go towards rye but crap shoot. Honey lemon cough lozenge on end. Mid. Better with some water for sure.

Whoa, had to take a double take on the nose, the initial take almost blew me face off. Little hot on the palate but not to bad, getting some caramel and baking spice , maybe clove and a wee bit creamy finish almost? Though the finish was a little thin, overall I liked it.

This is what I’m here for. Fruity and sweet (is that cherry?) with a wonderful smokey velvety finish. Little spicy but not overpoweringly so. To quote a friend in this group “todays selections is delightful”

I am not quite sure why but I do like this a lot. Amazing how much the flavor profile changed with an ice cube. Put some more hair on my chest

light. adequately hydrated urine since that's we're grading this year apparently? light smoke on nose. tasting earth, apple. i mean it's a scotch. mothballs. libraries. Im doing it. I'm saying Japanese. Wait no. Cydne says this is a "space eyed" scotch. let's go!

Delightful today. Smooth, light. Lovely dram. Grapes at first, coffee and chocolate on the end. I liked this one.

Not my fav, so much heat. Aftertaste is wheat, also not my fav.

Holy hot gasoline Batman!

Spicy and hefty. This is a good one.

Smooth delicious dram! Nice scotch submission!

Forever there has been a dance, a passionate tango between the Fire and the Dove. One brings smoke, heat, and destruction, the other brings sweetness, calm and joy. For centuries they battled, one would gain the upper hand, then the other would take its place. One fateful day, the two clashed once again but neither could gain advantage on the other. For every ounce of smoke the Fire raged the Dove would counter in sweetness. And every kindness the dove would bestow the fire would burn up in response. And so they were locked, in constant conflict: balanced. The smoke and the sweetness forever evenly matched. And they bottled it up and sold it

Solid overall. Smooth, smoky. Nice light color. I'd enjoy it again.

Japanese v. Scotch. It's a coin toss. Pretty enjoyable pour with a bit of a grassy and smoky nose.

Pretty solid. Definitely getting pears on the nose, a bit weak on the finish. A decent supper though.

Smells like a pear, tastes like a scotch.

'Twas the night of the seventeenth tasting, and all through the house, Not a glass was left empty, not even for a mouse. The dram of fine bourbon lay snug in my hand, While I listen to a live album of one of my favorite bands. The leather aroma, it danced in the air, A hint of the warmth that this evening would share. It may be a tad hot, but I'm enjoying the taste, Not this year's best, but this tasting is certainly not a waste. So I raised up my glass, in the soft Christmas light, Merry sipping to all, and to all a good night!

Tasty

Dark amber. Very sweet nose. Like a new wood. Bubble gum cola maybe, Ima sip it. Yeah that's strong. like i get some like sausage? fennel? Maple syrup. Finally got some cinnamon. Oh it's got a sour, sour lingering aftertaste. Easier with water.

I want more of this.

Malty fruit forward nose with apple and lemon. Taste is nice and light. Fruity and a nice honey finish.

But…..like…..wait…..why…..what

Wow, very whiskey, much scotch
