Ok so I’m a whiskey drinker who likes his dram neat. This however is quite delightful over ice. Covid has made most bourbons and scotch taste and smell horrible. I have since switched to vodka and tried this over ice and it was better than expected. If you are used to drinking any spirits neat this will not be hot at all. My wife tried it and complained it was too sweet but I think my taste is still muted. Anyway for ten bucks it tastes great. Cheers!
