A long finish (surprise) that reminded me of cilantro for some reason, not really sweet, not really l. Too much corn for my liking, but that's subjective. The initial on the tongue taste was bland to me, I didn't get anything but water flavor, but after a few sips the above came together. Drank neat @ room temp. This was the first tasting ever based on reviews and more ways are still to be tried (ice, mixed, etc). Nifty bottle.
