DAY XMAS: Connor
Nose: Church wine and cranberry sauce. Maybe a bit nutty.
Palate: Proofy..?? Peppery and woody but also velvety? Oddly enough, I get a spiced Christmasy fruit cake. maybe There’s no rye in this?
Finish: Very drying, old grape, ryeeeeeeee, Canadian finished? Nope. I got this.

Color: light amber
Nose: wood perfume, a faint hint of grass, green apple
Palate: NUT, peanut butter fudge, white chocolate
Finish: fair bit of barrel spice on the end that goes into the bubble gum territory
Final Thoughts: Could be old tub, could be EWSiB. I think EWSiB has more of a white chocolate note than Old Tub

Color: light amber
Nose: wood perfume and ethanol, faint hint of a dark chocolate cherry note, grass clippings
Palate: is this willet? grass clippings and off gin, pines both apple and needle
Finish: fairly proofy and medium viscocity,
Final Thoughts: I don't wanna finish a one ounce pour of this, and I happily polished off yesterdays, I have to put this in F for me personally but I could see why someone else would like this

Color: amber
Nose: Cherry and tobacco, maybe clove and chiccory coffee and a hint of brightness? very complex
Palate: Bitterness dances around an insanely complex evolving experience. Chiccory coffee and cherry and very present, mild herbal notes, savory leather and wood oil perfume
Finish: deceptively proofy, medium viscocity. tobacco, barrel spice, and proof play it out excellently. The very end is like a real earthy cinnamon
Final Thoughts: Clear S teir, I could drink this all day and get something else out of it every sip. Its got a scotchy edge to it but its clearly a bourbon, WIlD shit

Color: amber
Nose: Cherry bliss, OWA, deep molasses
Palate: HEAVY barrel spice and sweetness in an immediate blitz. its honestly a bit much but not unplesant at all. Coffee
Finish: really proofy, medium viscocity, tobacco and a bit of metal comes out on the end.
Final Thoughts: This is really challanging and complex, I feel like its hard to evaluate it on only 1 ounce.

Color: light amber
Nose: Cherry bliss, OWA, sweet and deep and bright
Palate: There is more cherry on the nose than on the pallet, and a strange sourness? The barrel spice on the end is actually really nice, its complex.
Finish: medium viscosity, sweetness leaves for barrel spice but funk pervades, its pretty great
Final Thoughts: really high B. I actually think it might be WSR, but its tough. Solid chance it isn't BT at all. I don’t have a 20 to place in my picture lmao

Color: lighter amber
Nose: mushroom, bandaid, alcohol, hot metal
Palate: Strangely sweet given the nose, zero smoke but a metallic funk is present. White sugar on stainless steel with barley
Finish: pretty thin, not very long. all the grain is on the finish. lemon pith
Final Thoughts: Its almost too sweet to be a scotch, but its got that scotchy vibe? Honestly reminds me of Johnnie high rye but worse and proofier
Proof Guess: 98

Color: light amber
Nose: Vanilla powdered sugar ethanol, cherry jam, cinnamon, maybe a wheaty funk
Palate: Spicy boi! But not a rye, clearly wheaty notes and cinnamon and PROOF. Cinnamon and cherry in spades
Finish: Pretty hot, pretty viscous, sweet and plesant.
Final Thoughts: Really nice! Its gotta be wheat, I think its a makers pick

Color: Golden Amber
Nose: Graple jelly and vanilla bean.
Palate: Strawberry, fig, brown sugar, raisin. Beginning to think it’s finished…I was overly confident on the nose, but i’m beginning to second guess myself. It is DAMN good whatever it is.
Finish: Novocaine-y, slight menthol, sweet oak and milk chocolate. FUCK IT. I’m all in. If it’s Phifer Pavitt, I commit a crime.

Color: Dark Amber
Nose: Boiled chicken wings, brown sugar, and animal crackers.
Palate: Sweet, funky, plum. Can’t tell if it’s Proofy or spicy, but definitely tasty.
Finish: The spice or proof carries through nicely as pecan and maple syrup make an entrance. Very interesting and even great.

Day 22: Connor
Color: Palest of Straw
Nose: incredibly nutty, like a pay day bar. Burnt caramel and a really nice underlying marshmallow can be found upon searching.
Palate: Thin, cornbread liquified dusted with powdered sugar. A bit hot but the orange Mike & Ike comes onto the scene. This is a weird one.
Finish: Warming, even biting as the sweetness of the palate seems to surround some white pepper.

Color: Golden Honey
Nose: Cinnamon buns with ample icing. Fresh cut red apples.
Palate: Like yesterday but cranked up a few notches. More nuance in the best way. Some sweet artificial cherry and cinnamon still. still a bit thin, but somewhat creamy.
Finish: Waffle cone and cinnamon sugar. Slightly drying, which makes me think proof. Pretty damn great, IMO.

DAY 20: Connor
Color: Pale Straw
Nose: the PINKEST bubblegum, banana, pina polada with extra whipped cream. Just an off the chart sweetness.
Palate: Sweet and sugary holds through with bubblegum leading the way to confectionary sugar. Maybe a little bit of wild Berry, as the sweet is ever so slightly high pitched to make it noticeable.
Finish: zero astringency, but very light and airy, like puff pastry with vanilla and berry. Proof: 95-100

DAY 19: Connor (I didn’t take many notes)
Nose: Easy but terrific vanilla and carmelized banana.
Palate: Bright, a bit soft but very relaxed and tame. Vanilla banana comes back but more like a creme brulee or pudding. Wafer could even be here. Not deep flavors, but airy and soft. Maybe a LITTLE raspberry.
Finish: a bit spicy but in a peppery way. Short finish. nothing to hate here, but not much to adore? Could be an easy shelf staple if the price is right.

DAY 18: Connor
Color: Amber
Nose: Decadent. Desserty. Chocolate chip cookies with caramel. Oooo Mama?
Palate: Sweet and easy. Simple. A bit flat and less rich compared to what the palate let on. Vanilla, red fruit jam, and some root beer.
Finish: quite easy and inoffensive. More of that root beer but maybe a brown sugar simple syrup infused variant? Noting about this is unpleasant, it’s just a bit simple.

Color: Pale Honey
Nose: Sweet & Simple. Slight alcohol and nuttiness with a bit of chocolate. Young corn.
Palate: A bit flat and tame, but not in a bad way. just kind of sweet & inoffensive. Getting sweet breads, vanilla, and maybe an intensely red sundae cherry.
Finish: a bit peppery, but not black, cayenne. Sweet. Maybe a bit of honeyed toffee. This is bizarre.
