Leslie Hall 2.0

The aroma is very sweet, with caramel and butterscotch. The taste is much less pronounced and the flavor seems to fade. It's smooth, but somewhat unengaging.

George Galvan 4.0

Silky! Effortless to drink straight or with ice. I detect caramel and some apple.

Whitney Marr 4.0

I didn't detect any floral notes, but it was very smooth.

Regina Zarate 3.0

Excessively sweet, overly smooth, lacking depth.

Vito Rivas 3.0

Smooth and sweet. It's simple but enjoyable.

Makayla Hatfield 3.0

A good whiskey, but unremarkable.
