Day 1 of a 12 Days of Christmas gift set. There is no nose to speak of. If I bury my nose in the glass, I get a hint of stale popcorn. The palate isn't spit-it-out bad, but it's not very good either. Sweet corn, corn syrup and a touch of vanilla, and you've reached the end. There's also really no finish. Maybe just a hint of drying. This is a drink I haven't had in literally decades, and I can see why. Were I a college student mixing cheap whisky with generic cola, this would serve the trick of helping me forget how "horrible" college life is. Or something like that. If you're over the age of 21, and still think this is a decent whisky, may I point you to my trusted friend, Mr Evan Williams Black Label? Please? No...really...I'm begging you...

Oh I remember sampling the Alberta Dark over at my local wine store. Was atrocious.
The most damning thing about this though, is that it's STILL better than Alberta Rye Dark Batch. At least it doesn't pretend to be something it isn't.
I actually used a really bad bottom shelf bottle as antiseptic for my daughter's soccer injury. Worked well.
I hope your next drams in that Christmas gift set are better than this! Nice review.
I've heard that bottles like this do an excellent job of eliminating odors from garbage disposals and sink drains. Not that I've ever done that...
Fortunately, it's was a 50ml, so only one bad drink. It's really not even good as a mixer. I'm convinced the sole reason this exists is because young people like to feel intoxicated, and someone told them whisky was more masculine than vodka.
Now the question is---what do,you do,with a bottle that's so unpalatable? Is it even worth it as a mixer?
