Maker's Mark Cellar Aged (2023 Release)

Hot tamales cinnamon red hots with cherry

Nose : ethanol, marshmallows Smooth, sweet, a little spice, winey. Rich multi layered. Not worth the hype but still very tasty

Nose: cherry, a little caramel Body: medium Palate: cherry, caramel Finish: medium, smokey. Note: great pick up from lakeville. First sip on a friday night, absolutely delicious. A little surprising as this was rather dull the first time i tasted this. This is pretty simple, cherry and caramel and a little smoke but tasty.

The nose is full of creamy oak, not over powering but just enough to be intoxicating. It is mixed with notes of ripe fruit, buttery vanilla and hints of leather and dried flowers. It does have the distinctive fruity notes of a wheated bourbon, but in a higher amount than you usually see. Everything is perfectly balanced and easy to get lost in. The palate is rich and smooth, with peppery spice hitting the corners of the mouth while vanilla and oak swirl all around the mouth. Chewing on it has you enjoying the fruity side to it while notes of mild baking spice keeps the mouth warm. Everything you picked up on the nose translates perfectly to the mouth. Some chocolate notes can be coaxed out of it as a welcome addition and overall, this delivers in every way you could imagine. The finish is medium long and very full, with vanilla and oak keeping you chewing, and just the right amount of spice to keep the mouth tingling just a bit. Everything else fades beautifully, this is a whiskey you really can't find anything wrong with. This is Maker's turned up to 11 and one of the absolute best wheated bourbons you can find.

Nose: Molasses, caramel and sweet wheat Taste: full flavor and body. Buttered toast with sweet maple. Finish: heat, well rounded.

Very tasty, quite nice overall!
