Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked

Sweet, woody, vanilla and spicy.

Decided to try this one after realizing how much I like Woodford Double Oaked. Price adjusted, this is better. At not much more than regular MM, I'll probably keep this one on the shelf. Its definitely a sweet, finished whiskey, but still has plenty of proof and complexity.

Sounds silly but the nose reminds me of a brand new basketball. Flavor has hints of orange peel, apple, cinnamon, oak, and campfire char.. Complex flavor profile. I like it a lot! I bet this would make a killer egg nog!

Nose: maple syrup, vainilla, cinnamon; Taste: creamy vanilla, cinnamon, pepper, some oak; Finish: sweet and spicy Good but felt a bit dry and harsh compared to the regular maker's.
