Not bad by any means. It has a light and pleasant flavor, if a bit unremarkable. I know this is meant to be a cocktail workhorse and its real cheap. I can see it being quite effective that kind of role. For me at least, I think I’d spend up a little and get Real McCoy 3 year which I find a bit better for a similar application. But then again, I am a very basic cocktail guy and just drink most things neat.
