Just dandy! I haven't had this in two years and it still holds up. Sweet vanilla, creamed corn, cream soda, and dry rye bread aromas.
The palate is pillow soft and in no way obscured by alcohol. That taste of cream soda, mint chocolate, cornbread, and mild but lingering spices at the finish. It doesn't hang around as much as you might like but who cares there's still more in the glass!
I'd take this over so many bottles of overpriced hooch.

I picked up a bottle of this about 2 years ago because it was so cheap, only to realize later on that I had the 80 proof version and not the 100. I guess that’s why I thought it wasn’t very good. I’ll have to see if I can find the real stuff and not the fluff. Nice review!
