Nose seems more like a tequila moonshine hybrid that I was doubtful I would enjoy. The taste took me by surprise. It is very smooth and calling it a tequila whisky hybrid is the best way I can describe it. Even though it is 100% corn, it feels like they were able to put the essence of a good tequila in it. The more I sipped it the more it grew on me. Color is very light, almost a hint of green in the pale amber.
