Color: This blended whiskey has a pale straw yellow hue. Nose: I detect notes of corn and cornbread, alongside nail polish remover. It's a continuous interplay of pleasant and odd scents, like pine needles and butterscotch cookies contrasted with Windex and car exhaust. Taste: The palate is sweet with a caramel latte flavor, which is nice, but there isn't much else besides a plain rice sensation and alcohol. Finish: The finish is brief and lacks any warmth. It's neither good nor bad, leaving one to wonder if it was even perceived. Thoughts: I'm quite disappointed. I anticipated this dram wouldn't be my favorite, but I strive for fairness and allow everyone a chance on this whiskey stage. It's better than I anticipated, but that's not a strong endorsement. I will mention this: This whiskey contains a 20% bourbon to 80% neutral grain spirits ratio. Their website states, “The 20% Bourbon is the most expensive bourbon ever created.” That's a bold claim, but I'll state for the record, “If that's accurate, I'd appreciate tasting that bourbon before it's blended!” It's not to my taste, but if it suits yours, cheers!

This spirit has an amber-gold color and no visible alcohol legs. The smell is of spicy, sweet corn, with a hint of oak (perhaps from added oak extract?). The taste includes mild vanilla, sweetness, light sugary candy, and grain alcohol. It has a lower-medium body and fades quite quickly in the finish. A reviewer.
Sweet with a noticeable bourbon-like quality. Decent for the cost. Adding a little water reduces the alcohol burn and softens it nicely. Keep it chilled for a quick drink.
Let’s locate this for a friend! I heard it comes in a pouch.
Pleasant served straight on ice.
