Unknown
Nose
Sweet with maple syrup notes, concentrated and reduced sweetness, some floral character.
Palate
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.
Finish
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.
