Canyon Diablo Grand Canyon Bourbon Whiskey

A friend visited and brought this whiskey from his travels in Arizona, so let's see how it tastes. The aroma begins with light caramel and notes of banana, lemon, and apple, followed by poppy seed muffins with toasted walnuts and a faint smell of nail polish remover. The nail polish remover scent is very subtle, reminiscent of catching a whiff from down the hall when manicures are being done. The taste mirrors the aroma, with a very light, watery mouthfeel, featuring light caramel, banana, lemon, and apple, followed by those poppy seed muffins with toasted walnuts, leading to that slight nail polish remover aroma and a mild alcohol sting. This culminates in a short finish that echoes all the flavors from the nose and taste. Overall, for a $27 price point, this isn't exceptional. It's simply an affordable whiskey suitable for a party where you don't mind how it's consumed.

Unremarkable. A slight sensation appears on the finish, but it's minimal. The aroma is barely noticeable, and the taste isn't outstanding. A novelty item, at best.

A slight sensation on the tongue and at the top of the throat.

Very sweet, with floral/fruity notes and little to no spice.

Smooth from beginning to end. Corn and caramel flavors.
