There's a very flattering review of the Devil's Crap here:

But I'll disagree...it's no Elijah Craig, with whom it shares a price point, and much less a Woodford Reserve, which to me is just fantastic value for money.

I think your review is spot on. My main interaction with it has been on AA, always mixed with Coke Zero. In that scenario it performs just fine but in all other scenarios as you said I don't find it worth buying over others in the same price range.

Especially here in NC where the ABC stores sell Devil's Cut at roughly the same price as Elijah Craig and Buffalo Trace among others. If I want something to just mix with soda here might as well just grab it's cheaper cousins.
