COLOUR: Dark gold. LEGS: Pretty quick and medium thickness; fairly oily-looking. NOSE: Moderate (3/5); moderately sweet; rye spice; vanilla, toffee & honey; sour green apples; citrus; black pepper; licorice; herbal & oaky. Pretty nice and pleasant; with the occasional waft of deliciousness. WITH WATER (3 drops into 10mL): an increase in well-balanced deliciousness. Score 7/10 TASTE: Fairly simple and straight-forward; light (2/5) & thin; heavy rye & then some corn sweetness; vanilla, butterscotch, honey & maple syrup; tropical fruits; black pepper; licorice & slight saltiness. Quite nice; predominantly sweet with a rye bite, and some interesting flavours emerging with patience. WITH WATER: washed out, and perhaps a bit sweeter. Score 7/10 FINISH: Very brief; sweet and spicy. WITH WATER: sweeter and slightly longer. Score 4/10 OVERALL: Quite pleasant and well-rounded blended Canadian; not too dominant on the rye, which is sweetened up and smoothed out by the corn; not a bad thing to have on your shelf for some mindless sipping, especially at the rock-bottom price. Initial Impression (2022-04-03): nose is rather pleasant and sweet, reminiscent of the corn sweetness of Potter's and Signal Hill; taste is similarly sweet, with a kick of spicy rye, and a bit of bitter oak on the sides of the tongue; finish is short and sweet and spicy. Weighted Score 6.7/10 *NOTE: came in a huge 1.75L bottle.
