This whiskey came up on Twitter last week, and the general consensus was that its terrible. Now, my point of view:

Nose:
Sweet and oily corn syrup with an industrial edge. Like someone spilled bourbon on a factory floor. Also a slight hint of raw potatoes.

Taste:
Quite a fierce mouth feel. Some alcohol burn as well but a lot less sweet. Apart from that there aren’t many flavours I can pinpoint. Weird, and quite nasty, to be honest. Like drinking paint stripper without the nasty odour.

Finish:
There is absolutely no development from the mouth, just a continuation of the same boring flavours.

Has this stuff aged at all? It tastes more like it ran off the stills and was bottled. I read some positive reviews but can’t really agree with them. Not much positiveness to find at all apart from 2 things:

1: I can check another whiskey off my ‘101 whiskies to try before you die’ list
2: The dinky yellow label is awesomely old fashioned. Love that.

I guess I’m just not a fan of corn whiskey…
