  NDA Advent Calendar 2023 (Blind Samples); 12/3/2023-12/31/2023: December 13 Advent (Blind)
  
  Nose/Floral - musty funk and fresh cut pine on the nose (only). Wowza. Interesting
  Sweet - some caramel
  Nutty - pecan pie
  Spicy - some tobacco
  Earthy - leather
  Smoky - no
  Woody - such an interesting and intense deep dark cedar. The highlight here
  Fruit - less, maybe orange?
  Color - reddish gold
  Palate - dusty. Good funk. Expansive but not overly tannic and overpowering
  Finish - hangs around. Great mid palate. Good length.
  Value - N/A blind sample
  Overall - I really enjoyed this one. I know I keep calling dusty but this one I’m more confident than most. Which means I’m probably wrong lol
  
  Blind Tasting:
  Score: 99/100
  Whiskey Type: Dusty Bourbon
  Proof: 110-115
  Age: 8-10 year
  Producer: Wild Turkey
  Exact bottle: I mean this really strikes me as dusty Wild Turkey 8/101 but I think the proof is too low so I’m guessing Donut? Has that cedar funk thing going on. Could be another (non-101 or donut) product that gobbles 🤷‍♂️🦃
  
  Reveal: Feel like I nailed it, won best guess for the evening! WT Master’s Distillers Selection (2006) 14yr old. So juice from around 1992. This is just heavenly. What a treat, limited to 6,000 bottles
