At a charity gala last night, this was one of the two whiskey options available; I didn't see the other bottle, but the bartender just generically said "Canadian"...so I opted for the Bushmills. This isn't perhaps a go-to for sipping neat, but on the rocks, it's a perfectly fine, easy, unchallenging whiskey with notes of banana, tropical fruit, vanilla, spice, and chocolate. You can do a whole lot worse in the price range.
