Six different testers. An advent record?

Amazingly good. Heavy mouth feel but maybe my fav of the calendar so far

Very smooth. Vanilla, maybe? I like it.

Can’t place what this one is. Thought it was one thing and tastes like something else.

Now this is what I’m talking about! Great balance of flavors. Not overly sweet. Nice spice and heat at the end.

BO-berry biscuits with butter. This is really good....really good.

Taste like a light scotch. Very easy to drink, not that memorable, but tasting nonetheless. Hoping this is one of my picks.

Floral and nice. No idea what this is. It’s probably some whiskey made in Africa that nobody has heard of.

What is this thing? Not bad, just a bit difficult to understand. Doesn’t seem a traditional bourbon. Rye? Other? This one is a real blind guess. Is this where Wildcard starts to break away from the pack??

Nicely balanced but not too memorable. It feels like the distillery put a lot of work into making a crowd pleaser but as a result cut all the interesting bits.

If a pixie stick was rescued from a house fire, that’s this drink. Not loving it.

I want the sweet vanilla taste, but the peat heat lingers and lingers. Instant heartburn. Maybe we need a bourbon Calendar...

It's good. Not great. It does grow on you, though.

Really liking this! Peaty, floral nose. Earthy but bright flavors. A really nice balance with a punchy delivery. Somehow all of these disparate characteristics come together very nicely!

Sweet Smokey goodness. Most won’t like this one but I truly love it. It’s magic.

Smoky scotch…little much for me. Will save it for my islay-loving friends who visit.

This is my jam. Smoky and peated with an earthy sweetness like autumnal malts. Looking forward to all the divided opinions to come.

I'm liking this one a lot. Getting a lot of strawberry and fruit punch on a long finish. Big fan.
