After only drinking single malts, this was a change. It was medicinal at first, but after a bit in the glass it became more sweet. It has a heavy rye influence that I liked. Even in Sweden this is not an expensive bourbn so I say give it a bash. It is sweet, spicy, chewy and has a long lovely finish. Like many Americans, it will initally keep you at arms length, but keep trying and it will be a good companion.
