On the nose I smell corn ethanol and if sit for a little bit I can smell some caramel/brown sugar. On the taste it remind of cheap vodka mix with caramel and a faint hint of spice (cinnamon maybe) that disappear almost right away. Took me a few sip to notice it. And it doesn't really have a finish it disappear so quick. It definitely a cheap whiskey that would have is place in a mixed like with a Coke. It would be fine if it was sale in a plastic bottle, below 20 $Cad. The problem is it sold between 35-40$Cad and advertise as a hand crafted whisky that pay hommage to the RCAF. As a veteran I found that of poor taste if you not gonna bother to put a quality product in the bottle.
