114.7 proof 7-8 years Bourbon (Wheat Whiskey) Maker's Mark Loretto, KY $99.99 51% soft red winter wheat, 27% malted soft red winter wheat, 22% malted barley, 0% corn
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.

Excellent
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.
