What a great way to absolutely ruin a perfectly good bourbon! Taste and smell is overwhelmingly mapley, and if you get even a little bit of this Elixir of Death on your hands, you’ll be smelling it for hours. It’s really, really sweet, and the pungency of the added flavors overpowers any other flavors that might be there. I do appreciate the fact that this is bottled at 90 proof, but I feel that the effort is wasted. Save yourself some money and drink a bottle of Aunt Jemima instead.
