    Well I both agree and disagree with many of the reviews here. I do beleive the Canadians know how to make whiskey since Canadian Club in my opinion is very nice and smooth. Although Canadian Mist is not as smooth, I dont think it taste as terrible as described here. The one thing I will agree on is this stuff gives me a damn headache after drinking less then a pint. CC does NOT affect my head that way. Dont get me wrong, if i drink a fifth of CC..chances are I will get a headache, but with CM a small quantity has my head banging. If not for that, because of the price I would probaly drink it!

    Take it for what it is, cheap whiskey. It could be much worse.

    ok for the brother law, but that is about it, it has a hard edge and lack individual tones, it would be better called a generic.

    Smooth. Good mixer. Little character.

    Canadian Mist is the cheapest whiskey that I drink. The flavor is light, but still sippable. It is an easy beverage to drink and blends well into any standard whiskey cocktail.

    It should have been called Canadian Missed... Somehow they managed to take perfectly good grain and waste it on poor whisky.  I can't put my finger on any one thing wrong with it, because I find pretty much everything wrong in a trainwreck of flavor.

    As a Canadian who enjoys cheap whiskey this stuff is crap. What is that after taste? Kerosene? But its 1/2 price in the US and I don't find my prefered Royal Reserve here eh.

    A good introduction to Canadian whiskey. Way too bland for my tastes these days it is very smooth. Excellent value as well.

    It tastes like cheap whisky, but it's surprisingly easy to drink when mixed. Over all not too bad.

    My mother serves this crap to her alcoholic friends. And it comes in a plastic bottle! Need I say more.

    For a blended whiskey its alright and extremely competive price, be warned though the next day might not be worth the competive price!

    This stuff is good! It comes either in a plastic bottle or a glass bottle. It is $9 for a fifth.

    If you want to get your load on and can't go all the way down to a bum bottle of Mad Dog, this is perfect. You know, Canada grows beautiful grain. It has some of the purest water in the world. Tall trees grow everywhere that can be cooped into barrels. So, when they screw up a whisky starting from such good ingredients, it really makes you wonder. Drink it with coke if you can't find rot-gut tequila instead. A few shakes of bitters may help kill the aftertaste. On the plus side, it's cheap and comes in a plastic bottle which you can drop and not break when you're sliding down skid row on your ass.

    A light yet tasteful brand of whisky with a subtle citrus after-taste. Not as full-bodied as some may prefer, but perfectly good nevertheless.

    Went on a float trip in central Missouri, forgot to bring my scotch, was forced to buy a flask of this because of lack of scotch. Found the stuff not too bad. Easy to drink on the rocks. Didn't drink enough to know about the bad hangover. All and all a pleasent experience.

    Simply not a good quality whiskey. It is a poor imitation of a Canadian Whiskey. Although on first attack it seems smooth there is a strange sickly-sweet fruitness, traces of off-flavors, very slightly metallic, with sugary flavors that don't belong in a whiskey - no matter the country of origin. Strange, artifical flavor in the aftertaste. Plus, possibly because of the added chemical content, leaves a pretty bad hang-over. Yuke...

    This is the only alcohol I've been able to drink without a chaser. It's really smooth and the taste is less abrassive than other Whiskey's.

    Canadians do not know how to make Whiskey and the Mist proves it. Mist? How is this stuff "mist"? Shouldn't mist be reminiscent of fresh mornings in Ireland? Maybe they meant mist as what your brain feels like after several rounds of the catastrophic Canadian.
