It's funny, I liked this briefly with a small sample bottle. Got a 750ml bottle and couldnt finish it; it was too heavy, too syrup-like. Flavor, imo, doesn't work as a bourbon (or any other type of whiskey for that matter). Tasted almost like a maple flavored cough medicine after (1) 4oz glass, so perhaps for some it would be fine with 1 smaller 2oz glass and no more
