Nose
Rich floral notes of deep roses with hints of chocolate reminiscent of cocoa crisp cereal, orange zest, and spice. The alcohol is present but not overwhelming.
Palate
Exceptionally velvety and viscous mouthfeel with distinctive pop rocks sensations, white and baker's chocolate notes, dark cherries, and orange zest bite that carries through multiple sips.
Finish
Long and bold finish with a classic Kentucky hug you'd expect from Maker's Mark, with lingering oak and spice notes.
Overall Score
4.5 / 5
An exceptional craft-focused limited release from Maker's Mark that successfully delivers on its promise of improved mouthfeel and body through fatty acid ester oak finishing.
