Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon

Cherry

Absolutely fantastic! Honestly one of the fullest and flavorful bourbons I’ve ever had. It reminds me of Christmas Eve when the kitchen was in full force with baking spices, shortbread cookies, vanilla and a faint sweet cigar in the background. Truly a phenomenal bourbon.

Gomer's (KS)- Tasters Choice, 2 BAP, 3 SFC, 1 M46, 3 RFM, 1 TFS, 108.7 proof Sweet nose, brown sugar and fresh apples which I usually pick up with Maker's. Nice fat long legs in the glass. The palate follows suit and is very sweet to start. Their is a hint of under ripe astringent apple but the big hit is cinnamon which lasts quite a while. There is a cigarette tobacco that appears at the very end which I don't care for but that is the only negative. Ice brings forward chocolate and some of the standard Maker's fruit.

Bubbles (KCMO) Store Pick, Never Forget, 110 proof, 2 BAP, 3 SFC, 1 MM46, 4 RFM, 0 TFS Nose is the best of MM, strong on cinnamon sugar toast. Palate is the same, concentrating on the tip of the tongue. Chest heat stays a very long time. A little one note, but good.
