Not a bad "middle of the road" bourbons. It is sweet as indicated. I mixed it with diet ginger ale in a highball and it worked perfectly fine by me. If you like sweetness, they drink it straight, which is not my preference, however, to each one their own. Found it at Costco at $39.99/1.75l so I could not complain about the price. So it works within my price-to-complexity ratio :-)
