Light & nutty with some sweet corn and a soft burn. None of the notes stick around for long, but just enough to catch a glimpse. Honestly, I think this bottle gets too bad of a rep. It isn't going to blow anybody away, but for its price it is perfectly fine as a cheap mixer or something to throw on the rocks. It's my go-to at a wedding or corporate event when the choices are basically Beam, Jack, and Canadian Club.
