People who throw the term "pancake syrup" around to describe whiskey need to try this first. Hard to have even .5 oz straight. This literally smells, tastes and drinks like thin syrup. It really reminds me of bourbon-barrel-aged maple syrup I buy sometimes and is just as sweet. This might actually be a more cost-effective product to pour on my pancakes... but I think i'm better off just adding a little OGD114 to my maple syrup bottle and calling it a day.
