'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

Wood. Burns my eyeballs. i get cherry pipe smoke. Smells like Mary Grace's house. Oily. Clean heat. Adding water brings out some dirty sock. Pretty flat with a pepper finish.

Greg Baur

Nice nose on this one especially after a bit of water. Oak upfront but with familiar cherry vanilla citrus and almost almond. Left and came Back to it and got some peanut brittle going on. I guess I can say it’s complex. 🤷🏿‍♂️ I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s barrel finished. The taste is a bit malty like a bit of a scotch note. Be surprised if it was but who knows. I really like it whatever it maybe.

'Twas the night of the thirteenth tasting, and all through the night, Each dram was evaluated by palate and sight. But one pour was puzzling, as baffling as can be, A mystery to solve, perhaps only for me. It smelled faintly of wheat, but then what more to find? No other scents registered, left me so blind. Then came the tasting, oh what a dread, The flavor was awful, just as I said. In a twist of fate, others might think it divine, But this whiskey's for them, not for this tongue of mine. So cheers to the nights, and the tastings we seek, For every bad dram, a new favorite we meet!

'Twas the night of the twelfth tasting, and all through the air, Came scents that were hot, hot, hot—none to compare. A young whiskey, perhaps, or high proof, maybe both? A complex aroma that teased like an oath. With a taste smooth and smoky, like a fine Scotch allure, Each sip was a marvel, each note so pure. A sweet finish lingered, oh what a delight, I dreamt of a bottle on that cold winter's night. The magic of whiskey, like Christmas so near, Brings warmth to the soul and holiday cheer. So, raise a glass high, to flavors refined, For a dram so exquisite, truly one of a kind.

This one is complex and rich. I’m a fan.

This one seems young and all over the place. Speaking of, happy birthday to my son Reece!

Elusive like a wiggly weasel worming worriedly without warning. It’s rich like a mahogany mantle muddling my macabre musings. But it’s sweet like a Cornish conifer carnivorously colluding constantly. Yet it’s spicy like a particularly peppery piece of pumpernickel-parced pterodactyl.

Really wanted to like this, but I just don't. Tasting those apples though.

Cherries and Licorice, pretty smooth going down

Too fiery for me to enjoy sipping, but would probably be good in a spiced drink

Nate Knuffman

Wow, I'm really enjoying this one. Incredible nose of wood and leather. Great brown sugar and caramel flavors. Winner.

Hallie Knuffman

Delicious. Some raisin upfront, spicy finish, but not too hot. Water really opened up the brown sugar. Very nice.

bourbon.little bit of vomit? might be flashbacks. and i think i may have vomited it. that's a bad one, don't like it at all. boring.

Nothing to write home about. Not offensive, but if I remember correctly, it's kind of forgettable.

Nate Knuffman

Nice mild scotch? Great oak and fruit on this one.

Nate Knuffman

Peppery nose. Taste is peanut brittle, or maybe that was a holiday snack. Tasty.

Kevin Guyer

Like this a lot, notes of cherry? Would buy.

John McDowell

This tasted so weird, guessing bourbon but may be ‘other’ given the flavor profile…which I would say are flavors that aren’t flavors- plastic? Shoe? Idk

Josh Light

Almost like green apples on the nose with honey and toffee on the finish. Almost seems like a toasted bourbon with the sweet finish. I could get down with this for like an afterwork/daily sipper.

Josh Mitchell

This one is ok, but a bit boring. I'd drink it, but I wouldn't buy it.

Greg Baur

Citrus like more towards lemon toffee and oak in the nose. Not as sweet as others and borderline the notes which scares me. Not terribly hot but has a little punch on the end. Somewhat of a leather finish.

James Hatfield

Hanky

Heavy vanilla in this one. It’s unique. I like it.
