Maker's Mark Cask Strength

Dark chocolate and cherry on the nose. And banana. Spicier than I thought it'd be after that nose. Cinnamon. Vanilla on the palette. Pretty good.

My favorite makers from the 2022 tasting. chocolate and spice (cloves & cinnamon).

This is my second bottle and they are defiantly a bit different and not just proof. On the noise I get cherry, oak, green apple, and hint of ethanol. The palate opens with a sweet cherry cough syrup, and oak not much else. The mid palate is a little spicy for a wheater, also some proof shows through. The finish is syrupy and thick, with heavy cherry and oak notes. At the time of this tasting I had a slight head cold so I might not be getting all the tasting notes. Current bottle is a 21-8 proof 112.5 ABV 56.25%, packs a pretty good punch. I would encourage anyone that is into Bourbon to try this one, not like other makers products, and very affordable for a cask strength weather, enjoy.

Tried neat, a little warm. Spicy, caramel, burnt citrus
