It's earthy and complex in all the right ways. The mash bill provides a nice balance. Toasted woody tannins, rye spiciness, and some sweetness from the corn and wheat... I really like this! It's bold and can easily hang with some of those really good mid-range bourbons. I'm a fan of drinking my whisky neat from a Glencairn glass, but I have to imagine this stuff would lend well to a nice classic cocktail. For the price, you can't go wrong. If you see it, get it.
