What a wonderful and unexpected dram on day three! Light-bodied, honey on the nose, an evolution on the pallet, and a welcome bite at the end. I can’t wait for all of the bourbon lovers to downvote this into oblivion. Great addition to the calendar!

This taste great. I hope this was one of my pics. Very easy to drink.

Looks like a scotch. Tastes better than a scotch. If this is a scotch, I'm very impressed.

Extra Citrusy. 🍊🍋. Decent

This one tastes like it's got something adding sweetness like chocolate flavored Hawaiian Punch. Digging it.

Guessing either a wheaty bourbon or other. There’s a hint of maple and bacon but somehow that isn’t really a good thing. Not bad, but not my fav

This is pretty boring. No flavor, and a little spice at the end. It's not bad, it's just not good.

Really interesting combo of flavors. Like a cherry pie put in a blender with caramel ice cream.

Nice rich amber color, sweet honey nose, a bit of a bite throughout the finish. This smells like a bourbon but drinks a bit like a rye. Do I love it? Not really. Have both my kids been sick since before Thanksgiving and I’m just glad to have some booze at the end of the day? Absolutely. While this wouldn’t be my first choice to enjoy neat, I bet it would make an excellent cocktail.

Earthy, some baking spice, light nose, short finish. I have zero clue what this is. Has that green apple 🍏 flavor that usually means it’s younger.

I get a licorice and medicinal taste. A bit of heat, don’t know what it is….

This is insanely good. It smells exactly like chocolate covered cherries and amaretto. It takes a second for the heat to drop, but after giving it some air, it shines.

Strong in the wrong way. Decent.

Sweet delicious bourbon done really well. This is one of my favorite bourbons and I was so happy to see it get the recognition it deserves last year. It’s as good as I remember.

It tastes like burning…in a good way. Excited to enjoy this experience with my friends. Thanks Cory

Hard to argue with last year’s winner. I always enjoy the burn of higher proof.

How could I ever have described this dram as "forgettable?" An explosion of caramelly berry baked in a pie that well-deserved its crown last year. Happy Advent to All!

Like cherries soaked in vanilla syrup and lit on fire. Whatever it is, it's barrel-proof!

Charming dram. Sweet and plummy, like it was aged in sherry barrels.

Tastes like the potent sherry sweetness of Glenlivet Nadurra. Amazing!
