Tasting Notes
"The first whiff of this will have you scratching your head--an extremely banana scented Canadian whisky? It calls fruity gum to mind...unfortunately, right down to the plastic packaging. There's an undeniable scent of disinfectant that carries over to the flavor which is almost gin-like and fairly harsh. There's some spice and brown sugar, but even adding water can't shake the bitterness."
