Maker's Mark 46
94 proof NAS Bourbon Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $40 Maker's Mark mash bill with red winter wheat

Deep vanilla with hazelnut undertones, honeysuckle and floral notes, burnt sugar and crème brûlée character. Candle-like quality with classic bourbon aromatics.

Sweet opening that tones down quickly into baking spice cabinet with cinnamon. Honeycomb cereal and corn pops sweetness with vanilla carrying through. Wheat spice present on mid-palate with florality and elderflower honeysuckle notes.

Cinnamon-forward baking spice with cinnamon toast character. Tapers quickly but leaves lingering warmth.

Top notch
A phenomenal expression with a standout nose and quintessential bourbon flavors that showcase the wheat's subtle spice alongside classic vanilla and caramel.
