Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked

Dark chocolate, cherry, orange nose. Molasses, vanilla, maple cherry oak pallette. Lots of spice on the finish. One of the most complex bourbons I've ever had. Almost like a combination of bourbon with some rye for that complexity and spice. Incredible.

Not bad. Some decent tasting notes

Spicier and more savory than mainline Maker's. Nose is very pleasant. Lots of vanilla, plus some chocolate and a pinch of cinnamon. Palate is spicy and oaky, not as sweet as the nose would have you believe, but tasty nonetheless. You'll find toasted oak, baking spices, savory pastries and a little vanilla. Finish is weakest part, as it thins out quickly. Oak and cinnamon bread noted. A good sipper that also works great in cocktails, as its spicier side balances sweeter ingredients. Cask Strength version could be very interesting. Worth the modest premium over standard Maker's - it's not as sweet or easy-sipping, but it is more complex.

Like the vanilla. Too sweet
