Brought the bottle my niece (Nicole H.) gave me. It was the hit of the party here in Seattle!

Had High hopes but as a daily bourbon drinker this stuff had very little flavor. The little bit of taste it had was quickly lost. I’m trying to figure out what to do with it now. Maybe people who don’t drink whisky will like it.
M K.
I got it for my party and it was a winner! Everybody loved it! I will not be without it in the future! No headache next day either! I love it!

I personally dont drink Whiskey but my boyfriend is a "aged single malt snob" so typically doesnt drink anything that comes out of a bottle under $100, and if he could get away with it - much more than that. I have read mixed reviews so when I got this for a gift I was nervous he would think it was a cheap alternative - instead - I have placed many orders for him and gifts for others. Well done Endless West.

This is a really cool idea that falls flat. Real complex whiskey has both large and small molecules that lend the depth of flavor. Unfortunately the large ones seem to be missing. This tastes like the whiskey equivalent of a stereo with the treble turned all the way up and the bass turned off. Only the top half is present. I really hope they can figure this out because it's such a cool idea, but this isn't it. I really question the talent of the so-called "judges" who gave this a silver medal. Keep trying guys!

I don't drink a lot but this one tastes pretty friendly. A bit fruitful, not very strong aroma. Overall better than expectation.
Eric M.
This offering is crisp and lite with just the slightest notes of smoke. This is not a peaty or earthy whisky but also not overly sweet. For those who enjoy scotch and whiskey without the sometimes overpowering smokiness some distillers infuse in their product.
Lucinda H.
Showing Glyph to my coworkers.
Andrew T.
Very smooth whiskey, but the sherry flavor is overpowering. Also, it smells a bit like rubbing alcohol.
Michael C.
Perhaps my expectation was too high.
Jesse M.
Very fruit/apple on the nose with interesting and pleasing flavors and aromatics. Not as caramelly or dark as my favorite high-end whiskeys, more like an aromatic and light bourbon with zero off-putting bitterness that finishes clean.
Shanka M.
It’s quite a strong whiskey, more spirit than I expected. I’m primarily a bourbon drinker (Basil Hayden, Woodford Reserve) who used to have scotch (Glenlivet, Bowmore). It felt harsh and was not pleasant when taken neat. I’m trying to soften it some by leaving it in a decanter.
A B.
Just awful. Nothing subtle about the vanilla and hazelnut. Probably headed for the drain.
Brian E.
I think it's the best tasting whisky I've ever tried. Two of my friends who I shared some with said it was great.
Rich B.
This essentially tastes like what it is... It tastes like infused vodka with the same simple vodka mouth feel.
It isn't worth the money, your basic whiskey or bourbon from the supermarket is better and cheaper. Much worse than a Jameson or something like Larceny.
Kevin J.
Very smooth! I did sleep well that night and did not get a headache.
James P.
This Whiskey is the smoothest tasting I have drank since Crown Royal XR red label, It's a great sipping drink or even as a mix drink will most definitely be buying this again...
Emilee U.
I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he enjoyed it very much. My experience with Blackwell's was excellent. I needed to have the Glymph shipped and it was well packaged and arrived intact.
Jason P.
One of the most interesting, and dare I say innovative, whiskeys on the market. Really fantastic stuff, highly recommend it!
Tracy M. T.
The order was quick and easy with no issues. It arrives in a timely manner.
Gregory S.
I had placed two seperate orders via the internet. I errored on my second order and contacted cistomer service to correct the ship to address. Gary sorted it out within a few hours. Love the support and service. Happy New Year! CHEERS!
Jonathan O.
For the first time, I was able to drink whiskey without burning my throat. I love the taste and even was able to drink it by itself. It truly was a remarkable experience by a remarkable drink.
John M.
Not worth the money at all. It is not offensive but should not be allowed to be called a whiskey. I am sure I will finish the bottle eventually, but will not be buying another when it is done. Overall very disappointing.
Danny S.
Very smooth whiskey and tastes great!
Terone P.
I like to try new things. Glyph is a very new thing. A bunch of science guys analyzed whiskey flavors, went back to the synthesis lab and whipped up something unrecognizable relative to your whisky library and mine. I love the idea. I appreciate the effort, but I was a little disappointed that they didn't better emulate one of the greats. I look forward to their next effort. I will monitor Blackwell's site for my next strange experience.
Ingo V.
Very disappointed. I saw this featured on HBO Vice News and was curious to give it a try. It smells like ethanol. The flavors they added do not do much to make this anything close to real whisky. No malt, no depth. Undrinkable. I feel like I was duped (by HBO). Embarrassed to have gifted this to my friends before I tried it.
Delivery and packaging were excellent. No complaints with the vendor.
Patrick C.
Unique Scotch Whisky and quite a treat to drink. Strong citrus and vanilla scent, on the palate very earthy (not peaty), and heavy oak spices linger after.
Ruth K.
This was a gift for my son-in-law who is a member of the local "whiskey club". He "loved" it! Very good for "in-law" relationship!
Frank S.
This was a gift for my son in law who loves science and whiskey and was therefore a perfect gift for him.
David G.
It is a fruity whiskey you can drink straight without water or ice.
ANTHONY G.
i could sell this if i had taste testing sessions . smooth and tasty . saw this on vice news. wish we could get this at every liquor store. GLYPH is better than expensive whiskeys that i tried.
Nick D.
I wouldn't call this a whiskey, but it was definitely interesting to try. It's smoother with a big vanilla and sherry flavor to it. It neither smells nor tastes like a whiskey but made for a fun evening with friends. I applaud Endless West for doing this and hope to see more from them
Tom & Marsha P.
Blackwell's website is easy to use. The product selection is wide. And the delivery is as promised. This seriously run business gives joy to browsing things new and different to try!
Michael S.
The concept, 100! The initial flavor is on point, however it is short lived and shallow. I will try their next recipe to see how they develop.
Stacy L.
It tastes more like grappa than whiskey. Very light. Not rich and deep like you would expect from a good whiskey.
Hao N.
The idea was great, make the same chemical composition as aged whiskey. But it didn't work. It tasted like vodka which makes sense since that's not aged. It had a much harsher alcohol/ethanol smell to it and can really only be used for mixing drinks.
M. Jill D.
This was a gift for a friend. I was originally told it would arrive on a Thursday and tried to stay home since I had to sign for it but then was told it wouldn't arrive until Friday. Given that it is the holiday season and parcels may be a bit backed up I didn't think that was a huge deal breaker. Thank you for getting my order processed and Happy Holidays.
James C.
It just seems a little off.
Richard D.
Brought a bottle to a holiday cocktail party last week. HUGE HIT! Mixes incredibly well into cocktails, particularly more bitter drinks like old fashions. Highly recommended to anyone looking for a new whiskey for their home bar.
Bruce B.
Very drinkable and smooth, especially for those who are just learning to like whiskey. My favorite way to enjoy it is on the rocks with a twist of lemon.
Aedan H.
I love this molecular whiskey! Smooth, great unique flavor, and a fun story
Jeremy S.
A very cool idea. Interesting for what it is. I hope they keep working on the formulation. It still seems like it is a whiskey flavored vodka at this point. It seems too light in many ways. Almost there, keep working at it and I think newer formulations will be good. I look forward to trying them.
Daniel F.
Was hoping for the best but it's pretty rough. Made from neutral spirit and then flavored... The whisky-like product tastes strongly of heads.
Ronald G.
My purchase arrived intact and in a timely manner. Have not had a chance to try the whiskey myself; as it is an x-mas gift for a family member.
Richard B.
I heard of Glyph and thought it was an interesting product idea to make whiskey in a non traditional way. I had heard reviews where it was well rounded and tasted like a good high end whiskey. I really couldn't have been more dissapointed. While there are flavors that hint of scotch it really just tastes like infused vodka and doesn't accomplish anything special. Almost all whiskeys that I have tried (perhaps other than jack daniels) are better and cheaper than this. Even plastic bottle clan mcgreggor supermarket whiskey is better...
They need to a lot more work before this concept is ready...
Right now its best value is to have friends try it so that they don't buy it...
Tyler T.
I feel like it's important to have realistic expectations for this whiskey. Will it taste exactly like aged whiskey? No. Will it taste different, but still pretty good? I say yes. I'm enjoying my bottle, but I must admit it's still a bit of a novelty at this stage of the technology. I don't feel like I wasted my time or money... but I also look forward to future upgrades.
Dario C.
When served neat the drink is very harsh. With a splash of water or a cube it opens up a bit. Flavor is relatively simple and there are better buys at this price point. Worth buying for the novelty but that's about it.
Jon H.
Very interesting, will buy again. Does it taste like every (or any) other whiskey out there? No. It's not sitting on my shelf next to Mac18 because it tastes the same but it's cheaper. It's different, not like any other whiskey I've had. Seems to me that's the point. If I wanted something to taste the same as what I already have, I would just buy that other thing instead. I can see why this might not be for everyone -- it's not peaty or smoky, doesn't have that kick of other stuff out there. It's pretty bright and smooth and makes a hell of an Old Fashioned.
Peter B.
Love the package and the product too. Smooth and fruity, complex and balanced with very long finish. Will buy again for sure.
Steve
Bought a few bottles for whiskey fans in my office - they loved it. Had no idea it had never seen the inside of a barrel!
Kai M.
Taste was OK but really burns the throat going down.
Jerry L.
I feel that it doesn't have enough alcohol per vol. and the taste is a little watered down tasting.
roger l.
Great product
Shipping a little steep
Jeff J.
Taste like perfume which I suppose is consistent with how it was made
Interesting idea but won’t buy again
Jayson B.
Best tasting whiskey I’ve ever tried
Jim K.
Ordered a bottle of "Glyph"; followed FedEx tracking until it reached Ohio, with a delivery date of "by the end of the day December 6". No delivery. Tracking number from FedEx suddenly is no longer in system. FedEx said to contact seller to resolve non-delivery issue. Left TWO messages with you detailing the problem and asking for resolution. Total silence until I get this silly 'survey' email! I am in the process of cancelling the purchase on my credit card this afternoon.
Derrik A.
What a cool thing! Tastes like whiskey. It’s pretty incredible that they make this in 24hr. 24 Hours!
Richard S.
It was HORRIBLE it tasted like flavored ether !! What a waste of 90 bucks I bought two bottles.
Michael C.
I found the whiskey to be different than any other I have had. I enjoyed it very much. I feel it can stand up or next to others that cost substantially more.
David S.
The phenols were pretty intense when it first hit my tongue, but the aftertaste was very nice with hints of vanilla and cinnamon. After sitting in the glass for awhile, the phenols dissipated too
Matt S.
Really smooth and flavorful with a good amount of complexity. I highly recommend Glyph!
George B.
Great whiskey that is very smooth with a truly unique flavor profile. I plan on buying again.
Seth T.
Tastes like Replicant tears. Does not taste like whiskey (or whisky, or bourbon, or anything else borne of pot stills and time). Not fundamentally offensive, but not fundamentally natural by any stretch. When the red shirts gripe about synthahol in Ten Forward, this is what they're griping about. Glad I bought it, will definitely drink it (eventually), but can safely say that carbon-based lifeforms aren't likely to flock to it any time soon.
