Nose - caramel apples, nothing too strong or unique Palate - sweet but not overpowering, notes of vanilla, cinnamon, cloves, rye spices, some faint oaky notes at the end Finish - little bit of warmth, quick to medium length finish I don’t usually reach for this one, but it is not bad for a $25 bottle. Packs a respectable amount of flavor for 90 proof

Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2021 FAE-02
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed December 25, 2021 (edited February 2, 2022)Nose - softer on the nose than the FAE-01, notes predominantly of vanilla and toasted oak Palate - stellar chewy mouthfeel, toasted fruity palate, sweet and spicy flavors of oak, finishes on predominantly woody notes Finish - long and warm FAE-01 wins the head-to-head battle due to complexity and taste, but FAE-02 is a solid complement60.0 USD per Bottle -

Colonel E.H. Taylor, Jr. Small Batch Bottled in Bond Bourbon
Bourbon — Kentucky, USA
Reviewed November 27, 2021Nose - vanilla and corn up front, gives way to caramel and baked fruit pies Palate - sweet and rich, the rye spices and heat are up front. no one flavor stands out over the others. Not the highest complexity, but it is a very enjoyable pour. Outstanding value if able to find at MSRP Finish - long and warm, heat lingers for a long while -
Nose - caramel, vanilla, citrus, ends with chocolate notes on the end Palate - silky and rich sweetness, floral notes with more classic bourbon flavors of vanilla and caramel with some baking and rye spices at the end. Very smooth and easy sipping bourbon that is quite satisfying for a relatively low 93 proofer Finish - medium to long, there is lingering warmth55.0 USD per Bottle

Maker's Mark Private Selection Milkshake (OHLQ All-Star Collection)

Reviewed November 20, 2021Nose - heavy notes of vanilla cream, like decadent freshly baked cupcakes Palate - rich buttery vanilla, outstanding mouthfeel that is deliciously mouthwatering, gives way to baking spices with a kick at the end Finish - long and warm Solid pour, but the other Maker's private selections have a bit more complexity that I would have liked to see with this bottle. It does live up to its name of "milkshake", and it truly does feel like a dessert.70.0 USD per Bottle -
