Excellent Whiskey. Taste more like an American Light Whiskey than Canadian (Thank God) ... It's hazmat so drinking it neat requires a little patience. It's hard for me to get anything other than corn and maybe citrus on the nose as the ethanol takes over. Palette hit me like Penelope ALW 15 .. Sweet with just a tiny bit of citrus, vanilla and toffee. For 145.2 proof it's really a smooth drinker.
