Theresa Epperson 1.0

It's not unpleasant, just young, rough, and alcohol-forward. The aroma is faint, light, and alcohol-forward with a hint of woodiness; it's not well-balanced and comes across as quite raw. The palate, similar to the aroma, is just light, raw, and strongly reminiscent of California Clear White Whiskey. The finish is fleeting, leaving only faint traces of raw corn.

Alia Faust 1.5

Light, not suitable for mixing or even significant ice. There's an elusive taste I can't identify. Floral, woody perhaps?? Not smoky whatsoever. Lacks spice or rye burn. Certainly distinctive, though not in a good way, but still drinkable.

Aida Durbin 3.5

I'm surprised by the low average ratings; I found this remarkably smooth and an excellent value.

Penelope Foreman 2.0

Smells like medicine and rubbing alcohol. The finish disappears quickly - thankfully. Might work in a mixed drink, perhaps...

Nash Larsen 1.8

Subtly sweet with minimal flavor. Excellent value, but that's its only strong point.

Dick Baumgartner 1.0

Too immature and woody. Too weak for much ice. This is not a good value.
