Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked

Been wanting to try this expression of Maker's for a long time, and finally grabbed a bottle this afternoon... On the nose, I get oak, leather and butterscotch(???)... Palate is oh-so-sweet with more oak, cinnamon and spices... Finish is a little short with lingering spice. The warmth sits in your chest for a brief time. I expect that from all bourbons worth a damn. This is a good one, folks!

Nose: port/wine, cherry, chocolate Palate: brandy, grain, tannin (dry wine), peppery Finish: a bit like a sour mash, bready, light fruit Pretty nice for a higher proof. Might try again with a splash of water. Surprised by the no-cork bottle.

Lovely spice and cinnamon finish

Really enjoy this.
