I've been curious about this for a long time but I haven't had an opportunity to taste it. Tasted today neat from a double rocks glass.
On the nose this is very delicate. Light ethanol, a sweet sensation, and some corn on the cob. There are some vanilla undertones also.
On the palate this remains delicate. My first impression is dry corrugated cardboard. That may sound weird but it is not at all unpleasant. It's just the first flavor that worked with my memory.
There is slight corn on the cob, corn silk, a bit of vanilla, very light. Quite nice.
The obvious comparison is with Mellow Corn. That particular spirit has a much more focused flavor profile. I think I prefer it to this, especially at less than half the price. This is nice, but it's not going to be on my bar.

I've found that the 100 proof True Blue has much more of that focus. I like the True Blue much better than Mellow Corn, but it's also about 2-3x the price
