This is not actually a terrible idea. Maple flavor is not a bad choice and I think quite compatible with whisky. However this expression is little heavy handed, even clumsy. The nose has... well maple. It smells like the inside of Mrs Butterworth's laundry basket. The taste is terribly mapley as well but with effort some spirit and even wood notes can be detected in the finish. To be honest this is more like whisky flavored maple syrup than maple flavored whisky and probably more suited to an alcoholic's pancakes than someones whisky glass.
