Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength
109.6 proof NAS Bourbon Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $55 Wheated bourbon

Rich leather and tobacco with notes of pear and unripe peach. As it opens in the glass, leather and tobacco fade and French oak becomes more prominent with hints of cinnamon.

Sweetness on the front of the tongue with bourbon character and a subtle corn note balanced by wheat. Cinnamon spice develops on the back end with stone fruit, oak, and a viscous butteriness. The proof is present and powerful without being overpowering.

Medium to long finish that lingers with cinnamon toothpick notes and sweetness remaining on the tongue. The finish is long and warm, with flavors sticking around and developing further with each sip.

Top notch
A warming, well-crafted wheated bourbon with excellent complexity that benefits significantly from the cask strength proof, delivering a long, satisfying finish with pronounced cinnamon and stone fruit character.
