Nose - Sugary corn syrup, pulverised Boo-Berry cereal, pulverized Oops All Berries cereal, spun sugar, faint fruity oil, crushed corn flakes. Taste - Sweet pulverized corn cereal, a whisper of nondescript "spice" creating a slight prickle on the tongue, artificial berry sweetness, Crunch Berries cereal, a very delicate texture, sugary puffed corn cereal for kids. Finish - Faint fruity astringency, a touch of ginger heat/prickle, dark berry sweetness, light sugary corn syrup, a subtle waxy sensation lingering after consuming kids' frosted/glazed corn cereals, spun sugar. Score - 64/100 Final Thoughts - This was a remarkably unique experience. It truly didn't resemble any other whiskey profile I've encountered. It lacked the bold vanilla/caramel notes of a bourbon or rye, and also the malty sweetness of a single malt. It was quite delicate throughout, with virtually no oak influence and an overall excessive sweetness. This genuinely tasted like alcoholic pulverized children's puffed corn cereal. Everything seemed too artificial, though I must acknowledge it wasn't sickeningly sweet like Splenda, but rather more akin to corn syrup sweetness. A valiant effort? Would I consume it if offered? - No Would I specifically request it? - No Would I purchase a bottle? - No

The spirit is made in the spirit of whiskey but it falls very short! Personally I find most of the flavors rather foreboding, there is one flavor up front when you first smell it that is quite nice after that it is very odd and plays with all of your senses as most of the flavors seem to be forced. This was a nice experience I should put nice in quotes, the thing is the amount of money for this beverage is definitely not worth it! I personally don't think you could mix this in any mixed drink, or wapituli that would mask the sheer starkness of this spirit. This is spirit is constructed in a laboratory... Be Kind, Be Generous, Be Real, Be Responsible!!! CH33RS

While getting inexpensive white wine for mushroom risotto, I was offered samples of this. The creators claim their process can make a new spirit taste like it's been aged for years. It's an interesting idea, but the execution falls short. This is an experiment that likely should have stayed in the lab, not in bottles for people to drink. At least not straight. It might be okay in a mixed drink with mostly soda and a splash of this spirit. The smell was a warning sign: like industrial chemicals or spilled benzene, reminiscent of my time working in a laboratory. It tastes like freshly manufactured plastic, with an overwhelming chemical flavor I couldn't ignore. They wanted $40 for it, which is $40 too much.

Nose: Immediate bite of solvent/ethanol. The candy-like sweetness, reminiscent of green apples, is brief but recalls tart apple confection. Faint floral notes also vanish quickly. Lacks depth. Palate: An immediate rush of sweet candy flavor. Similar to tart sweets with a subtle grain undertone. A hint of the alcohol's solvent nature reappears at the conclusion of the taste. Finish: Brief and harsh, unpleasantly so. Conclusion: As someone pursuing a PhD in chemistry, the concept alone made me want to enjoy this. However, the most generous description I can offer is "Sour Apple-Tasting Rubbing Alcohol." It's simply not complex, and the overpowering alcohol burn, more akin to an industrial solvent than a beverage alcohol, is difficult to overlook. The dominant flavors are an intense tart apple and a touch of maltiness.

It's certainly distinctive. The aroma was pleasant, but the flavor profile was below average. The aroma had a hint of apple cider, with another fruit note I couldn't quite identify. Honey was also present, something slightly tart in the background, and a faint floral note. It starts with that apple note alongside oak. It then transitions to a dark berry flavor. It finishes with an odd dry sensation. It possesses a peculiar liquor taste, as one might expect from an inexpensive spirit. It might bring back memories of your college days. There's an indefinable tartness to it. The fruit notes seem underdeveloped, as if they aren't quite ripe. I commend its attempt at originality. With some adjustments, it could be quite good. But as it is, it's a bottle best skipped.

Experiencing this for the first time, I'm astonished. Not by the excellent flavor. This "3D printed" whiskey requires significant development before it can compete with established American whiskey brands. I'm astonished that they've come this close with a whiskey that is the first of its kind. Appearance: Dark Straw Nose: Almost floral, a hint of cherry candy, citrus. Palate: Peanut brittle, butterscotch, a thin texture and an astringent, mild finish. This is how I imagine barrel-aged vodka would taste.
