This is a tough one. It's sweet, spicy and peppery, with a vegetable flavor and some smoke hiding under that. It actually reminds me of a corn moonshine, with all the good and bads that brings. As a mixer, it's better than cuervo, but it still tastes like a corn whiskey with zucchini or something. It isn't terrible per se, but it won't be my first pick. It's very forward and stands out.

Had a shot of this to give it a try. Good smell, light and refreshing. Smooth on the toung, sweet and mild. Warm as it hits the bottom.
Good flavor. Not too strong but strong enough to shine through when mixing
A little harsh. I will probably use for mixing.
Impossible to beat this for price and taste
Peppery, but not harsh or bitter.
