Notes

Not loving this. Like drinking hot wax.

Like getting a sweater for Christmas, it's pleasant, but not exciting.

Hot damn that hurt

Nice coloring, getting some licorice and spice. Tasty for sure

'Twas the night of the eighteenth tasting, and all through the room, I poured a glass of whiskey and hung up Zoom. The aromas so rich, allowed me to unwind, I believe my palate is becoming a bit more refined. I sniffed the first dram, my nose gave a sign, “Why does this one smell a bit like red wine?” More scotch, I exclaimed, my palate intrigued, The journey began, and my taste buds agreed "Delicious!” I declared as my glass emptied out, Do I like scotch now? It seemed there was no doubt. Is this year's selection better, or have I just grown? It's certainly been many years since I use to chug Keystone.

I am not quite sure why but I do like this a lot. Amazing how much the flavor profile changed with an ice cube. Put some more hair on my chest

Smooth delicious dram! Nice scotch submission!

Pretty solid. Definitely getting pears on the nose, a bit weak on the finish. A decent supper though.

'Twas the night of the seventeenth tasting, and all through the house, Not a glass was left empty, not even for a mouse. The dram of fine bourbon lay snug in my hand, While I listen to a live album of one of my favorite bands. The leather aroma, it danced in the air, A hint of the warmth that this evening would share. It may be a tad hot, but I'm enjoying the taste, Not this year's best, but this tasting is certainly not a waste. So I raised up my glass, in the soft Christmas light, Merry sipping to all, and to all a good night!

Tasty

But…..like…..wait…..why…..what

If you don't want to trim your nose hairs, just give this a whiff. This thing is hot. The finish doesn't stand up to the nose and palate, but it's a good sipper nonetheless.

In the great words of Tim McGraw. “ I like it, I love it, I want some more of it”

'Twas the night of the sixteenth tasting, with a whiskey in hand, Not much on the nose, I must say quite bland. A hint of the Scotch, but quickly fading away, Yet the finish is so smooth I simply must say. A whiskey so subtle, a mystery unfurls, Could it be Scotch? The smoothest in the world. On a cold winter’s night, by the firelight’s glow, I continue to ponder as I sip this glass, slow. With the firelight glowing and glasses held high, I toast to this journey, this 24 day whiskey flight. Each bottle, each day, a treasure to cast, In this holiday advent, I'm having a blast.

Diggin' it. It's easy, light, and a scotch that's not too scotchy.

Tasty dram, goes down smooth and easy

Another solid one. Would drink again.

Absolutely love this

'Twas the night of the fifteenth tasting, and as I look through the glass, Every swirl and each sip brought new flavors to pass. My first whiff was a symphony, welcoming in, For vanilla and wood is where the notes did begin. On the palate it danced, not quite as it seemed, For the taste wasn't quite where the aroma had me dream. Yet there was charm in the difference, a twist in the tale, A flavor adventure that begged to set sail. So I ponder, I sip, in the amber's embrace, Wondering, "Is this our first other?" in this whiskey chase.

Dark fruits, sweet but not too sweet. Strong but not overpowering. Favorite of the calendar!!

Got that sweet heat. Big flavor on this one. Huge fan.

I really like this one. The finish is unlike anything I've had. It almost tastes like a Christmas tree...without the risk of swallowing the needles.

Spicy and delicious bourbon… nice sweetness… keeps getting better

'Twas the night before Christmas, and in my glass clear, A whiskey that whispered of good holiday cheer. With a nose hinting maple, and honey, a touch, A warmth from the spirits, though not overly much. On tasting it wheaty, a grainy delight, Yet on balance it stayed just an average bite. No twinkling stars, no fantastical tale, But comfort it brought in its simplicity scale As I took a small sip, it was wheaty and neat, This average whiskey's flavor was discreet. By the fire we sat, in the soft candlelight, Toasting our glasses to a calm winter night
