The toasted Virginia cavendish is indeed a little toasty with a bit of grass, a little citrus, and maybe a drop or two of honey. The unsweetened black cavendish is mildly sugary is a support role. Playing back up is the nutty, earthy, slightly molasses sweet burley. The whiskey topping tones down the tobacco a little, but is mostly a team player, and slightly weakens near the finish. The strength level just passes being mild, while the taste is a step shy of being in the center of mild to medium. Hardly has any nicotine. Won’t bite or get harsh. Burns cool and clean at a moderate pace with a fairly consistent flavor. Leaves little moisture in the bowl, and requires an average number of relights. Has a decent, short lived after taste. An all day smoke.

Very mild blend, did not catch the hint whiskey until furth down the bowl. The natural sweetness of the Dark and Toasted Cavendish mellowed out by the Burley made for an overall smoke that would be great for those wishing to experience an Aromatic for the first time as it is a mild Aro and therefore would be good as a sipper for a palate used to American/ English blends.
Overall I find this would be a good Aro for that early morning smoke or even as a blend used to mellow out those stronger Aromatic's. I'm used to more flavor in an Aro, otherwise this would get a 4 star.

When you open the pouch, there is a raisin like sweetness that hits first. Then the smell of Cavendish tobacco comes through. It packs well and lights well. Now, the comparison to 1Q is that this one tastes less sweet and definitely is more golden than black. The aroma reflects this emphasis on gold. The smoke is full and the taste stays the same throughout the bowl. The flavor is mild and there is no bite. Admiral's Choice Black and Gold is more black than gold. And, unlike the other two, there is no vanilla that I can detect. I like this one for Summer smoking while the Admirla and 1Q are best for Winter and Fall. The one thing that this blend has going for it is price. By the ounce, it is just a touch cheaper than the others.

I like this one! Is it $20 a can fare? No, but it's a solid smoke. Very similar to Smoker's Pride Whiskey, it's slightly sweet, a tinge spicy and has an old-fashioned maltiness to it that's hard to describe. This is one of those bulk types you put off buying, but glad that you did buy it when you get ahold of a bag. Airing out brings out a more toasted quality. When I opened the bag the moisture level was perfect. Has a nice pouch note but somewhat nondescript. About midway down the bowl the experience is a smooth and monotone, but in a good way. Can't say it's four stars, but I'll give it a 3 and a half rating. Best of all your wallet won't be hurting.

Was gifted a pouch of this by my buddy D. Thanks bro.
Natural tobacco flavors of nuts and sweet hay with a touch of earth and a nice toasty note The whisky is fairly sweet and taste like whisky (duh). It's a smooth smoke and burns cool. Very few relights required. A simple yet tasty pouch blend that makes your wallet love you. $1.99 a pouch. Can't beat that.
Mild to medium in body and taste. Flavoring is mild.
