Alcohol does show. Sweet - I totally get the corn vodka base. Juniper and cucumber are present. The finish lets some more bitter alcol through. Not as interesting as pacific Voyager, but interesting. The flavor is good side from the excessive, syrupy sweetness. Good, but not super complex. A good mixer and unobjectionable. It's a lot sweeter than the aged variant - likely too sweet. Whereas the aged version increases in complexity with sips, this declines.
