Not sure if it's good enough to sip but it's not at all terrible. A little bit of smoke, a little bit of vanilla sweetness, a hint of body, reasonably rounded, definitely works mixed with cola. Leagues better than the other blended scotch with the red label. Stated price is the regular one although I got it on sale for 11 EUR.

Nose a little woodsmokey and pretty redfruity, almost as if it were related to brandy or red wine. Boozy mouthfeel, woodsmoke briefly returns after swallowing before making space for a sweeter finish, hardly any of the previous fruitiness however. Mixed it with cola as well, leaves some smoke in it, not an improvement in my opinion. Stated price is the regular one although I got it on sale for 10 EUR which I still wouldn't buy it a second time for.

Very light, lacking depth, slight oakiness, maybe a distant hint of bright fruit if you put all your imagination into it, yet at the same time the nose has a little booziness that refuses to air out. Not worth sipping, but just good enough as an unintrusive ingredient for long drinks. Stated price is the regular one although I got it on sale for 11 EUR.

Don't have the regular white label available for comparison but I believe the Sunshine Blend tastes a little less like oak, char and vanilla and a little more like peanut and rye whiskey with even a hint of orange popping up once mixed or when sipping after eating savory snacks that cancel out some of that peanut and cereal character. Decently balanced, might actually prefer this to original Jim Beam for mixing, although it still has the usual alcoholic burn and doesn't sip too well.

Nose just as boozy as Wild Turkey 101, however less oaky and more vanilla-y. Of the dozen or so bourbons I've tried so far it may very well be the most vanilla-y aside from Jim Beam. Sipping it the burniness sets in late but strong, I honestly have to say I don't taste a lot, my taste buds may just be overwhelmed by the ABV. The aftertaste isn't strong either. With coke it remains pretty boozy and otherwise just well rounded with hints of sweet corn, oak and vanilla.

Initially very boozy but then pretty standard, well rounded bourbon nose with perhaps the slightest unusual pepper on top of corn, oak and a slight amount of cereal grain. Very hot and itchy in the mouth, immediately charred oak after swallowing, then a general rich sweetness. With coke it becomes oakier than most bourbons I've tried, also carries some tart dark fruits in the flavors. Overall okay and more of a value proposition than a sheer quality proposition.

On the whole pretty similar to regular Woodford, but less sourdoughy and with an overall fruitier and more red winey twist in all respects.

Much darker and richer than regular Woodford, with an oakier nose predominantly carrying caramel and coffee with the familar dough and corn notes of the original only appearing in the background after breathing a little. Slightly sticky but very smooth impression in the mouth. Oakiness elevated but not pushy, some red wine notes, aftertaste also reminiscent of fermenting red fruits alongside some sweet corn, practically none of the caramel or coffee from the nose though. Also very tasty with coke, well rounded and complex, the original's sourdough impression resurfaces but less apparent and with darker and more charred notes on the side.
