These are the "cheap" brews.
Another example - Brandy is supposed to be aged in a wooden cask. Many companies skip this step and just color it with caramel coloring to make it look aged. Scotch is the same way - its suppose to be distilled multiple times and aged a number of years.
Scotch, being a grain liquor, just tastes "cheaper" when its "cheap." Grain liquors (beer, whiskey, vodka, etc) get SIGNIFICANTLY smoother when aged and distilled multiple times.
And 98% of the complaints I've heard of grain whiskey are that its too sharp tasting. "It burns my mouth."
