Used Jack Daniels with a splash of soda. The main issue was that the finish disappeared quickly, and the rest never recovered because the smoke covered everything else. I tried to make it work, but I wouldn't pick it again.

I had a small pour of Jack Daniels and let it open up. I could appreciate the vanilla note, though the finish turned bitter. Middle of the road for my taste.
fruity - smoothThe balance between light smoke and warm oak was what won me over. I'd happily choose it again.
