Gibson's Finest Sterling

Not much going on here but an adequate mixer.

For a cheap Canadian whisky - this does it pretty well. It isn’t exciting but is simple and sweet. At a very cheap price point it doesn’t feel like it’s trying hard either. Definitely a decent cheap whisky for cocktails. Bearable neat too!

Nice light flavor. More flavor than standard Canadian whisky.
