Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2019 RC6

What a phenomenal bourbon! It hits every note I’m looking for in a glass of Maker’s Mark. The regular Maker’s is my daily drinker. I find the 46 a little overpowering with an woody taste. This has a vanillic taste that smooths it out. Perfect amount of heat.

One of my favorite pours currently. Starts off with a little heat, with hints of cherry on the front, dark fruit, apple, caramel, and some light oak on the finish. A little bit of tannins in the finish as well. Great mouth feel and finish that lingers just enough for me to want another sip as soon as it ends. Upon having my first sip I immediately went out and bought a backup.

Not usually a Maker's fan, but I'm really enjoying this. It has the soft wheat feel, but so much more body. I like a woody bourbon, and I'll be sad when my bottle is gone.
