Maker's Mark Private Selection "Fireside Spice"
108.4 proof NAS Bourbon Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $85.99 Wheated (no rye)
Nose

Inviting maple and caramel with gentle ethanol warmth and a sizzle. Charred barrel aspects are present but not heavily smoky.

Palate

Very sweet and syrupy with silky texture. Brown sugar, almond, and almondy nutty notes dominate with a subtle red man sweet chewing tobacco nuance.

Finish

Medium length and pleasant without prolonged lingering, allowing the drinker to repeatedly return to the glass.

Noteworthy
A silky, exceptionally sweet wheated bourbon with impressive texture and approachable spice from its French oak stave selection.
