Maker's Mark Cask Strength

Carmel bomb! did not expect to like this, but, REALLY impressed the socks off me! Went from unopened, back of my bottom shelf bottle, to a bottle I can hardly wait to try again tomorrow. Truly shocked how good this first pour has been. Hope it holds up over time/across batches(if i get another one)

Batch 21-01 / I absolutely loved it and can't believe it was only $40. Mini review: It's like drinking liquid carmel candy (think Werther's Original) coated in vanilla and brown sugar. Very slight burn initially but it doesn't last long or impact the flavor profile in a negative way at all. The sweet taste lingers on the back of the mouth with no smokey aftertaste.

Nose: Caramel, brown sugar, cookie dough, vanilla, oak, and cinnamon. Palate: Heavy vanilla upfront, brown sugar, custard, cinnamon, cherry, black pepper with the tingle towards the end. Overall somewhat like French toast topped with cherries.
