Tastes like tailgating, FIREBALL

I’m Babe Ruth-ing this thing the rest of the way. Smells like malt but not like any scotch I’ve ever had. Does taste sherry finished though. I’m taking a wild swing and saying it’s Westland Sherry Cask or another American single malt.

This one starts strong, but we've with a whimper. Kind like me in most physical activity. The taste is like a really sweet scotch. Kind of digging it.

I was struggling with this one, but I’m hoping the color is a giveaway. Basil Hayden Dark Rye? I love the flavor. I wish they’d proof it up.

This comes off kinda disjointed. The peat is WAY heavier on the taste than the nose. These are scotch flavors, but in a configuration the likes of which I've never tasted before. Comes across pretty hot at first. Settles down the more I get into it. I want to say it's a blend, but these are flavors I've ONLY ever had in scotch whisky.

I want to love it, but it's more of a really nice girl you'd date and wonder why the chemistry isn't there. It's not the drink, it's me.

This is nothing but a liquid cigar.

Like it, don't love it. A little citrus, some good sweet notes, but feels a bit thin.

Big bourbon cherry note with some orchard fruits on top. It’s got a little heat to it. A little peach the deeper I get in to it. Could it be Four Roses Single Barrel?

Tastes super new make-y, but it’s got barely enough color to put me off guessing it’s actually white dog. Is this super young corn whiskey?

The nose on this guy is odd. Started out hating the flavor, but probably because it was just so different. The more I drank, the more it tasted like beer and bourbon. Not sure I hated it, but not sure I loved it either. It's curious and drinkable, but probably wouldn't seek it out.

I don't know if I just really want some cake right now, but this smells and tastes like literal cake and icing to me. Love it.

Fairly hot. It’s got some tongue pinching astringency and some baking spice notes. I’ve played myself so many times looking for a rye, but there’s not a ton of fruit here. No telltale cherry note.

I got another hunch here. It’s malt, but I don’t think it’s scotch. Is the the Yamazaki 12? Do I detect a hint of Mizunara oak?

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Smells like a decent scotch, tastes like a bunch of fruity stuff, and lingers forever. Not bad. Not bad at all.

Scott Beckett

Baking spices and dried fruits on the nose. Possibly a cherry note as I dig in. WOW that's hot. Lots of flavor though. Orchard fruits. Deep, rich caramel. Could this be? Did someone throw a Stagg Jr in here?

Merry Christmas one and all. This stuff goes down slow and tastes like chocolate 🍫 covered 🍒 with a touch of honey.

Think I got spoiled on this one, but I hope I'd get at least the style without help. It's definitely Islay scotch, on the subtle side with the smoke by Islay standards.

I had to let this one sit out for a bit and it got better when every sip. Getting some apples all the way throughout.

Feel like I'm getting one of those licorice herbal noses.Sweet up front on the palate, but then it dries out fast and gets herbal. Yeah, I like the front palate a lot more than the mid or the finish. Good body. Is this a fancy Whistlepig?

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

It's got a slight Hawaiian Punch flavor which is pretty incredible. Not sweet enough to be a bourbon though. Strong cherry finish. I'm not hating it, but I would like a tiny bit more sweetness and a longer finish.

Scott Beckett

Dusty nose at first. Classic cherry brown sugar. Finish for days. Almost wine finished flavor.

Jonathan Cory Kraftchick

Hef

Definitely high proof, but not getting a ton of unique flavors.
