There is no nose on this, none.  It tastes mostly like water with a vaguely sweet note underneath, there is also some rice and artificial vanilla.  There is no finish, none. 

True to the vodka character, this has almost no discernible flavor.  It tastes like slightly flavored water.  I wouldn't say it's the worst thing I've tasted.  After all, I like water, and I actually like this stuff better than most vodka, which I find tastes like rubbing alcohol smells.  But it isn't whiskey by any stretch of the imagination, and I can't imagine why anyone would buy or drink such a thing unless their only goal was getting drunk in the most flavorless way possible, or perhaps if one had a palate disorder of some sort which made them averse to flavor of any sort.

From the Kansas website:

 

What's a "nearly pure" distillate? Would "pure" distillate be pure alcohol? These guys don't even know what they're talking about -- and damn it, they're proud of it!

Their website has an entire section dedicated to their bottle design and font. Yes, the font.
