Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon

This is a superb expression of a Maker’s Mark Private Selection. This is a store pick that my local liquor store chose the staves for the recipe. Great Proof at 108.0 ABV 54.0. I am not good at picking out the various tasting notes, but I do know what tastes great. This Bottle!!!

👃 This blend is called Butterscotch Sundae and it's obvious why from the nose. Sweet sundae with bananas & caramelized pecans. 👄 OoOoOo she thicc doh. Great mouthfeel with more of the same. Maybe a new citrus element on the tongue. Tangerine? 🏁 Even harder shift to the acidic/citrus notes. Still nice and sweet, but definitely something interesting there.

“Grey Pig.” Caramel and major vanilla on the nose. Same on the palate with a slight char and honey. The best Maker’s I’ve ever had and probably will have.

Great. One of the best palates of any bourbon. Distillery stave profile selection: milk chocolate truffle. Beat FAE-01 which was previously my favorite Maker's expression. Definitely could pick out the milk chocolate truffle type notes. Full body. If finish was just a bit longer this might be truly outstanding. Drank alongside Larceny BP C921. If this only had the 10 extra proof points of the Larceny...
