Maker's Mark Private Select – Shut the Box Edition
109.7 proof NAS Bourbon Maker's Mark Loretto, KY Wheat-based (Maker's Mark proprietary)
Nose

Butterscotch sweetness with citrus orange zest, clove, cinnamon, and baking spices. Unique spice character from the grooved French oak staves.

Palate

Sweet butterscotch that translates from the nose, with baking spice and oak present. Develops more complexity as it opens up, with the spiciness becoming less pronounced and more floral white pepper emerging.

Finish

Starts sweet and dries out slightly with oak and baking spice lingering on the tongue.

Above average
A beautifully crafted private selection that balances sweet wheat bourbon character with subtle oak-derived spice and complexity.
