Neal Baca 3.0

A typical Canadian whiskey. It has rye and spice, with a less intense 'burn' than some other 'bottom shelf' whiskeys. There's a touch of fruit, apple in the body, and the finish is not too harsh at all!

Meghan Delong 3.0

Much better than the price suggests for a bottom-shelf option. It might be seen as a mixer, but it's surprisingly complex for sipping. Nice product, and I LOVE the retro 1970s bottle.

Dara Young 2.3

Pros: smooth. Cons: It's not genuine whiskey, merely an alcoholic drink with a whisper of whiskey and no lingering taste at all.

Cortney Bueno 5.0

My second favorite Canadian whisky, very smooth and enjoyable. Its cost-effectiveness in today's market is a bonus.

Denny Wu 3.5

Very good aroma, a little rough.

Derek Rainey 1.3

Truly awful
