Thanks for the review. 'X' begs the question of 'why' and obvious comparisons to say Toki and the like, which are aimed at highballs. You do hit the nail on the head with mentioning that it's a mixing whiskey and while it's not quite a perfect fit to review cocktails; if you have the means to make it so, I'd love to see a video comparing different mixing whiskeys in small set of cocktails and your thoughts on 'drinkability' and 'enjoyment' of such.
