Bourbon
Maker's Mark
$75
Maker's wheated mash bill with virgin toasted French oak stave finish
Nose
Maple syrup, dark fig, plum, and sweet chocolate. Medium-dark amber color suggests deeper oak interaction than typical Maker's releases.
Palate
Thick jam with cocoa powder and maple notes that glide smoothly. Soft mouthfeel with very little spicy kick. Maintains Maker's signature gentle touch despite the higher proof.
Finish
A gentle, lingering finish without the boa-constrictor hug of more aggressive bourbons.
Very good
A darker, richer iteration of Maker's taste vision that stays true to the brand's gentle philosophy while adding complexity through virgin toasted oak.
