A solid meh from me. I can see why it never took off.

Like a Manhattan bit much lighter and brighter. Wonderfully flavourful and I’m surprised at the lack of traffic here. In the absence of Canadian Whisky split the basebetween Jameson black barrel and Elijah Craig bourbon. One for the album, Gromit

Revisiting with Canadian club - albeit local import version at diluted abv - which I consequently bumped up to 50ml. Lovely barley sugar, vanilla, spice and rye offering the groundwork for the fruit and floral of the wines. Excellent!
