Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon

Great flavor, very complex profile. Seem as it would be a great fit with a Cigar.

Special flavors. Hits strong then disappears. Plenty of chocolate, coffee notes left behind. Dangerously smooth.

Neat. Party Source pick. Nose blows me away on this one. Deep cinnamon and vanilla. Floral qualities. Stirs images of fresh bread out of the oven at a bakery. I could bury my nose in this all day. Thick, syrupy and oily texture. Brown sugar all over the top of the tongue, gives way to that spice and cinnamon on the tongue. Tons of spice and vanilla on the close with decent legs. Such a good wheater. Rivals Antique all day long.

Calvert Woodley Custom Barrel 2018. 110.2 proof. Finishing staves: four Seared French Cuvee, two Maker's 46, four Roasted French Mocha. Purchased on 6/13/19 at Calvert Woodley DC for National Bourbon Day 2019. Poured neat into Glencairn at home. Nose is full of butterscotch and caramel, some oak and spice, vanilla, soft grains. Heat is well hidden for the proof. Taste lets the cacao in, with leather and tobacco. Interesting interplay of top end spice and low end dark notes of cacao and figs. Don't love it, but certainly appreciate it, nice custom variation on the MM Cask Strength. 6/13/19.

109 proof and smooth. Little burn at the end, but that is just the proof Bought for 65. Normally 85

Its good but doesn't blow me away. Beautiful bottle but the worst cheapy cap not just on a whiskey bottle but any kind of bottle I have experienced in my lifetime. (Don't ask how old I am ) The cheapy plastic cap is only 3/8" tall and hard to grip!When you buy this bottle its beautiful with the bottle and cap covered in the red wax dip. Once you take off the "Pull String" to open the bottle it breaks the red wax in a rough manner and leaves a jagged edge that actually irritates your experience of opening the bottle.Then once half the wax is gone from the edges of the cap it leaves you with this super cheap short plastic cap thats not so easy to grab onto and gives one the feeling of cheapness. I can't believe this cap got thru the design process when the whiskey and bottle are pretty nice. Are you listening Makers Mark???
