Weller 12 Year Bourbon
more fruity
Launched in 2010, Maker's Mark 46 is made by taking fully matured Maker's Mark Bourbon at cask strength and inserting specially seared French oak staves into the barrels. The bourbon finishes aging for a few months before bottling. The French oak staves selected from the Independent Stave Company, Maker's Mark long time cooperage, were named "Stave Profile No.
46." This is the first brand extension from the distillery since it started production in 1953 and is the first in its Wood Finishing Series. Note: As of March 2022 the brand has updated the packaging for its bottle and label to highlight the French oak staves.

Tasting Notes
"Cocoa powder-dusted chocolate truffles highlight the nose, along with cinnamon and vanilla pudding. The signature wood program shines through clearly on the palate, delivering notes of toasted coconut and baking spice laden oak, as well as more creamy vanilla. A short finish offers astringent oak, vanilla, and tart berries covered with dark chocolate. "
