Lots of positive remarks, yet such low ratings? I don't get it. I found this whiskey to be quite unique and enjoyable. Sweet corn, sweet caramel, nice heat ...maybe some slight bitter aftertaste, but not repulsive. Overall it's rich and full of flavor. It's aged, high proof, bonded; superbly bang-for-the-buck. I have no regrets. I'd say this is underrated.
