If there's something else interesting in that

the telephone is a good option.

One might in the meantime take a lesser brand of

maybe something sweet.

Looked at the reviews. It seems to be from the same
Sazerac stable that I always liked but that people
pooh-poohed for making cheap whiskey. Well, since the
olden days the company's reputation has improved
considerably (whenever I like something that is a
relative bargain, eventually I get caught up with
and have to spend twice as much as I used to for the
same quality) - they are the muscle behind the Van
Minkle products as well as the W.L. Weller brands 
that I have always been an enthusiast of.
