Good evening, Colonel Taylor! Nose of candied cherry and orange. Taste of orange and honey, with a finish of sweet corn. Such a winner.

Such a great start to this year's advent

Green apple flavor, taste like a young whiskey. I have zero clue what this is.

Good nose. Substantial sweetness. Fair burn. Overall, very enjoyable.

Strong and delicious.

Heat. Cinnamon. Well balanced. Like if fireball grew up and got a college degree. Nah…that’s too far.
James Hopkins
Tubs
Strong flavor—Maple & walnuts…decent finish

I think I was just so excited for the advent season that I wasn’t ready to receive this bourbon. Hot out the gate, loved the nose but a slight medicinal character kept me from rating it too high.

Tastes like a young Ardbeg, perhaps the 10 year. Crisp and lemony with that distillery's characteristic softer touch of peat. I love this one.

My palate for non-Highland Scotch is improving, so I'm tolerating this more than I would have in previous years. That said, I'm still not enjoying this as much as other scotches.

Loved it.

Islay scotch, Smokey

Lots of smoke, comes off as a scotch from the nose all the way through. Buttery, silky texture to it. Not my favorite on flavor, but still enjoyable.

The drugs I give to knock people unconscious and paralyze them smell better than this. Like licking a bandaid from the 1960s.

This one tastes like medicine to me and I feel like I'm getting healthier with every sip.

Lots of spicy rye in this mash. Candied cherries on the nose, vanilla taste, caramel finish. Not bad at all.
James Hatfield
Hanky
I think I knew this one from the smell. It’s absolutely fantastic. Sweet smoke.

Definitely putting this one on the list......of things to avoid.

Alas! Spicy lemongrass

I like this ok. It doesn't tested like Bourbon. Maybe a Rye?
Edit: Gets worse the more I drink it.
Edit #2: Don't think it's Rye now. Just going with Other.
