I don't think this whiskey is bad, but I don't like it. The nose is sweet, and buttery, full of corn, and something like tequila. Then I get this funky hit around the back, something oniony and sour. And it's there on the palate as well. It reminds me of sour cream and onion chips, just nowhere near as strong (or disgusting). It's not as apparent if you don't add water. Yeah, not for me. Well crafted though.
