Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2019 RC6

When they say fruit and sweetness, they mean it! There's no missing it with this one. My new favorite! Too bad its limited and I can't find more. Go find some! You won't be disappointed.

A fruity wheated blend of well made bourbon.

Nose: Vanilla and fruit Palate: Sweet fruit and spice Finish: Spice

Neat. Neck pour. I really like this nose. Had this at a restaurant and was impressed. First impression at home is strong too. Deep vanilla and pepper up front. Wet oak in the fall. Deep caramel. Decent amount of alcohol presence which comes across as spearmint. Baking spices. The riches, deepest Makers nose I have ever had. Far exceeds any Private Select I can recall. Once again, rich mouth feel. Really creamy and smooth. Sugar and pepper on the tongue. Rich raspberry. Hits you with the pepper, vanilla and caramel all at once with a kick in the mouth. Oak lingers like a dark chocolate on the legs. Blown away by this Maker’s release. I think this is their best release ever. People are going to shamefully over look this because it is Maker’s.

Aroma: Sweet Fruit and Fresh Oak Taste & Finish: Fruit & Vanilla Sweetness Up Front with a Medium to Long Finish of Spicy Oak. Overall a really Balanced Bourbon!! Thought it was a notch above the Maker’s 46 and Private Select.
