Grass, grain, caramel, and a touch of lemon are in the aroma of this low cost offering from Kirkland. Taste begins with a hint of sweetness and taste of black pepper and salted caramel. Some licorice can pop up from time to time. Finish is short but moderately clean. An easy dram but not much more. Can offer something to the focused taster but can also be a slammed or mixed, although for not much more than the alcohol addition.
