This has grown on me since my initial tasting. The corn sweetness and malt complexity are impressive considering its youth. It has a great aroma and a lasting finish. For those who appreciate this, consider trying Jimmy Red Corn (Highwire).
I understand why many might not appreciate it, but it's quite good for a whiskey with minimal oak influence. The malt and corn flavors are prominent, and it's notably sweet with a slight sharpness. I'm unsure if I would repurchase it, but it's certainly interesting.
Same style and price bracket, best rated first.
