  • Maker's Mark Cask Strength Batch 21-08 (112.5 Proof)

    Bourbon — Kentucky, USA

    Reviewed December 20, 2022 (edited August 26, 2023)
    3.25
    3.25 out of 5 stars
    Nose: boozy, fruity, vanilla frosting Palate: baking spices, caramel, vanilla Finish: cinnamon, orange peel More citrusy and spicy than the usual maker’s profile. A bit thin on the mouthfeel but thickens a bit with the addition of a few drops of water.

    Nose: rye, grass, Granny Smith apples Palate: caramel, oak, hay Finish: Kentucky hug - warming, baking spices, fruity Not the strongest rye out there, but is tasty. I think it has more flavor than Wild Turkey 101 Rye, which is probably its closest competitor.

    Nose has the typical rum funk but the palate and finish is rich and decadent. Drinks more like a bourbon

    Nose: wow this smells young. Bready, citrus Palate: spicy, chocolate, caramel. Some young malt funk but not as strong as on the nose. Finish: short, malt, green apple Has potential but needs more time.

    3.75 out of 5 stars
    Very similar profile to Uigeadail, just lower proof. Creamy, ashy, salty, and full bodied. Not as smoky as some of the other Ardbeg offerings but I don’t think that’s a negative for this one.
