Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon

Texas Total Wine & More stave selection 2 x Maker's 46 4 x Roasted Fench Mocha 4 x Toasted Fench Spice 110.3 proof Nose - Apples, cinnamon, vanilla and oak. Taste - caramel, vanilla, cinnamon, and hint of fruit followed by baking spices and oak with some lingering sweetness on the medium finish. This took a while to open up. On first taste this was underwhelming, initially there was a lot of alcohol on the nose and the palate. A chip of ice and some breathing time improved things greatly. It definitely has more spice than Maker's 46 (I miss the cherry notes from that), I'm guessing due to the stave selection.

1-1-2-4-2 Bought a bottle on sale in Frisco and really enjoyed it. Wish I would have taken better notes. Would do again.

UFS in Peoria has a fantastic version of this. A drop of water opens this up to a world of complexity. Subtle spices, sweetness, and fruit notes run under the oaky goodness. Smells amazing, tastes good, and nice finish. The full trifecta.
