Maker's Mark 101

Please add a splash of cold water or small cube of ice. Let it settle until ice melts. Sweet corn and mild heat on the palate.

As advertised, really captures the caramel and vanilla flavors strongly with a slight taste of fruit on the back end

Like regular Maker's, but just more in all the right ways

Yes, it's Makers Mark, but then again... I get an essance of orange on the nose. The 101 does bring on the burn, but it's smooth and well rounded.

Ok so to be honest I haven’t had a drink in five months. Covid has made things smell not good. I will not at all comment on the nose because it’s not at all correct. It is however a smooth drink with decent mouthfeel. Just a nice step up from traditional makers. I was told by my doctor to keep trying to smell things that are familiar and maybe they will come back. I sure hope so cause having a whiskey collection that you don’t want to drink sucks.

First time review of the makers 101 but had this bourbon a few times. Enjoying a glass neat. Nose - spicy vanilla notes and a sugary candy smell. Taste - very strong vanilla presence through the start, middle and tones down in the finish. The oak and char come in around the middle and continue through the finish. Classic makers here with vanilla, some heat, and oak char. Overall - again I am always a sucker for a limited release. This is a nice classic makers mark smooth vanilla and oak profile with a slight more kick to it.
