The Band, State, City and University have nothing to apologize for.

After reading the major selling points and the  history  behind Kansas (The whiskey, not the band) I was ready to file it all under the heading of  WTFWTT (What The F$%K Were They Thinking?) and walk away. But I could not do that, it would not be professional. So, I took the bottle home and did what any good liquor reviewer would do: I let the bottle sit on my shelf for a month.
