Well I know it was highly rated last year, but it's not that memorable or great. But it's day one and I might change my mind about this one after a few scotches hit the scene.

Hallie Knuffman

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

Nate Knuffman

Feel the burn. It's good to be back. Caramel and spice and everything nice.

Derek Glunz

Quotes

Feel the burn... it is strong and I love it. I get notes of cherries, caramel and spice. If you let it sit in your mouth, you can get a feeling for the high proof of this bourbon. Great start to the advent calendar.

Teryn Glunz

Really hitting the ground running with this one. Hot damn this is strong and spicy. I had to step outside for a minute to cool off. It was either that or take my pants off but I didn’t want to give Derek the wrong idea. Super sweet and tons of spice. Would drink again.

It's sweet, but not simple. Lots of dark fruit and brown sugar/molasses save it from just being a syrupy sugar bomb. The proof doesn't quite sneak up on you, but it drinks easier than it ought to. Black Cherry cola for grown folk.

Bright and balanced without leaving a lasting impression. Finish of oranges and vanilla. Not bad! But not great either.

Curtis Mulder

Mmmm. Delicious. Strong. FANTASTIC start to the calendar IMHO.

Chris Northcutt

Burn baby burn...wasn't quite ready for that one.

Chris Northcutt

Mellow

Nick Stone

Leather. Tobacco. But sweet. Added an ice cube to good effect. Blair hates it. Gave it a 3. Almost feels like a Japanese blend but not balanced enough. Meh. Good not great.

Jim Brown

I drank this out of a Star Wars Snifter, not sure if that affected the experience in any way. Still tasted like a good old fashioned scotch bourbon. With a high-proof kick in the pants.

Jim Brown

Nice flavor, little too much burn for my preference. Liked it initially, but doesn't hold a candle to some of my other favorites.

Kevin Guyer

I was told 'I hope this is cheap, well, cheap enough that I can have it regularly, but not so cheap that it makes me look uncouth.' - Getting some honey and vanilla, really dig this one.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

This is A LOT hotter than I remember. Almost like this could be on an episode of "Hot Ones".

James Hatfield

Hanky

Earthy and hot. Lots of vanilla.

Josh Mitchell

Full Body

Quite smooth. Wish it had a little more depth, though.

Christopher Reeves

band-aid

Butterscotch, light floral, cereal and sweet syrup, winter coat, yankee candle store, do not recommend

James Hatfield

Hanky

Floral and butter

Zach Bennett

Ok this is fantastic. I got cinnamon and spices. Reminds of me the holidays as a young Jewish boy roaming the means streets of suburban Atlanta.

Zach Lose

Big fan. Very large fan.

Mitch Mitchell

WeGo

Nothing special that I liked

Josh Light

I'm all over the board trying to figure out what whiskey type this is, but i'm getting maple Syrup with Dried fruit maybe cherries initially on the nose followed by woody/oak undertones. Light sipper with a short finish, not much depth I could pull from this one but did get notes of honey and maybe caramel/butterscotch?

Curtis Mulder

Meh. Since I didn't taste day one (which was DELICIOUS) until today, this is a step down. But still drinkable. A little darker in flavor. Molassessy.
