Oh, right, this is the one with two entries on distiller. That doesn't matter for this tasting, but I thought I'd lament that fact to spare myself from trying this for a little longer. It's quite harsh and there ain't much richness or depth, but there's sweetness and citrus. Cointreau immediately comes to mind, but I think I actually already compared them side by side and found that Cointreau was better in every way. I think this time I can detect a bit of honey since there is some bitterness mixed in. Perhaps that's what I've been attributing to citron and/or lime so far. If it is, that's 20% my bad and 80% something that should have been identified as a risk before sending this product to market. I really wish that something here tasted like whiskey. I mean, it has Jack in the name, but there's actually no indication of whether it's made from whiskey at all. I definitely suspect vodka. It's not awful, but not very good either. I'm going to make a boring call and maintain my previous rating. The long finish definitely has something artificial to it, so I might bump it down next time.
