I'm quite let down by this. Just pure chemical root beer flavor. Its only good point is that it's alcoholic. Perhaps it would be alright as a component in a more complex beverage. But how I consume it (2 part drinks) it's rather poor. Certainly will not purchase again.

Awful. Found on sale at the liquor store. Cost me $10. Excessively sweet with a chemical root beer taste, no surprise it was $10. Just recalling it makes me feel ill.
Very sweet! This is suitable for women and casual drinkers. It makes a fantastic adult root beer float. It might be a good mixer, though I haven't tested that yet.
Artificial root beer notes obliterate any enjoyable bourbon character in this poorly flavored whiskey. I poured out what was left after a small taste.
Very sugary, strong aroma and taste of root beer and whiskey blended together. Better on ice, not straight.
Spicy, with a licorice character. Similar to drinking root beer and whiskey through a Red Vine candy.
