Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2019 RC6

Solid, but less impressive than I expected given the hype (Drug City Tasting Room)

Sweet. Slightly hot

This is to Makers what Small Batch Select is to Four Roses, the peak of Makers Mark that deserves to be a regular release. Nose: Light smell of under ripe banana, baking spices, cherry vanilla cola, and a hint of earthy barrel Palate: vanilla transitioning to sweet cherry cordial with baking slices exploding across the tongue, earthy barrel note follows through with cocoa, with slight anise moving into the finish Finish: long and enjoyable, slight anise followed by rich chocolate and slight vanilla and earthy barrel. Phenomenal bottling from one of the best known brands in bourbon. I am not a fan of regular Makers Mark, but Makers 46 is a staple. This is the best Makers product I have tried to date and I am stockpiling this when I find it.

extremely strong, unexpectedly so, with distinct tastes, that uniquely come from the wood finishing, from the original Maker's Mark. Be prepared, this is much stronger than their regular stuff
