Maker's Mark DNA Series – 125 Entry Proof
125.4 proof 8 years Bourbon Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $100 Unknown

Sweet with maple syrup notes, concentrated and reduced sweetness, some floral character.

Sweet maple syrup forward with baking spices. Nice bite and spice that gets attention. Viscous mouthfeel with a punch. The alcohol impact is significant but the whiskey has structure—reminiscent of higher proof wheated bourbons.

Long atomic fireball candy-like finish with lingering spice. Drying but mouth-watering, with persistent heat on the tongue and back of throat.

Really good
A high-proof experimental wheated bourbon with concentrated sweetness and bold spice that commands attention while maintaining the signature Maker's Mark smoothness.
