Fleischmann's Preferred

An absolute failure. The aroma is immediately off-putting, resembling grain alcohol with a sour, artificial scent. The taste is somehow worse, genuinely suggesting it's undrinkable. It's like a rancid, thick syrup blended with alcohol. The syrupy flavor also leaves a lingering, unpleasant coating in the mouth. One of the least palatable "whiskies" I've sampled. Steer clear.

Tastes very inexpensive, lacking significant flavor and seeming diluted. There's some burn going down, but it's not too severe in that regard. That's the best aspect, which doesn't indicate much. I would not buy this again.

I was surprised that an inexpensive whiskey would be this smooth and flavorful. I will definitely purchase it again.
