The nose starts with an unmistakable note of rum that is almost wine like, followed by sweet corn, creamy cereal grains that reminds you of buttered toast, then there are some faint hints of charred oak. It is very inviting to smell, though the impression is given that the rum influence might be a bit strong. The palate is thin and simplistic. Rum is immediately dominant, staying mostly to the front of the mouth while a touch of earthy rye spice hits the back. Very faint charred oak seems to envelop it, with the corn content adding to the sweetness. The finish short to medium with a lingering rum sweetness and slightly chew oakiness. The is painfully simplistic and sweet, with the rum influence definitely being too strong. Along with being 80 proof, it is also dumbed down too much to bring out the complexities that may possibly exist in the individual whiskies. A novel and very easy to drink whiskey, but falls flat when it comes to true enjoyment of a whiskey.
