It's the worst whisk(e)y I've had so far. I thought I would like it, being from Quebec; one of, if not the biggest producer of maple products, but it just doesn't feel/taste right. It's like ordering crepes or pancakes with breakfast and getting bad/cheap corn syrup with simulated flavour added to it instead of real maple syrup: disappointing. I (normally) have only one bottle opened per brand at a time in my collection and this one is my "shooter" when I have friends over so I can be done with it and try another from Knob Creek.
