Neat, this reminded me of watered-down black velvet or Canadian club. It just tastes bland, watery, with a mouthfeel to match. No standouts in the nose - standard caramel, brown sugar, and grain notes. It works fine as a mixer as long as you're not expecting the whiskey to do heavy lifting. It's fine in a manhattan, adequate in something like a paper plane. In that respect it's like any bottom-shelf whiskey. I got this for free, and I'm glad I did because if I spent money on it I'd be really disappointed with what I got.
