Nose
Quiet and deceptive nose of cherry turnover, light vanilla icing, and malted wheat with minimal aggression despite 114.7 proof.
Palate
Concentrated and coating with bright cherry, warm baking spice, brown sugar, and full-bodied presence that belies the restrained nose.
Finish
Long, full finish with persistent cherry and spice warmth.
Overall Score
4.6 / 5
A bold departure from Maker's Mark tradition showcasing a new mash bill with exceptional palate complexity and a nose-palate disparity that rewards slow exploration.
