It's not that bad, it's a notch below Jack Daniels, which doesn't set the bar very high. I wouldn't sip either of them but they both go nicely with (diet) coke imo.

It makes a good inexpensive mixing bourbon. Definitely not a sipper, but has a decent flavor of home cocktails.

I love me some Evan Williams and diet Coke. I feel like it's better calorically anyways...

My son complains of banana flavor in Jack Daniel's products.

I tried someone’s cocaine a while ago and said “this smells way more like bananas than fuel”

They sent me an article years later about a ridiculous amount of cocaine being seized Ina shipment of bananas. They were confounded as to how I picked that up

An internet search lead me to discover its a chemical compound called isoamyl acetate that's commonly found in some whisky. Maybe some of us are more sensitive to it?

What's the deal with beer that tastes like bubble gum? I hate that!
