Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2021 FAE-01

Nose - Orange, floral, black tea, oak Taste - citrus cranberry sauce you have on Thanksgiving, oak, cinnamon

Absolutely delicious! Nose I get red fruits and a hint of pear at the end. Palate it's like dark cherries and a hint of citrus stronger than orange. Finish burn but not bad, the oak finally comes out here, and late finish is like I just ate a creme brulee with fresh fruit. Delicious love it neat

Smooth, but not as full as I had hoped

Very smooth for the proof

Just needs a small cap of water

Nose: Maybe the most going on here of any bourbon I’ve had... heavy floral notes at the beginning transitioning into varying but distinct fruit notes. From there nutmeg and brown sugar. Char notes at the very end Palate: Hints of caramel with a little bit of smoke Finish: Burn. I let this open up for 30 minutes and the burn was still quite a bit more than expected for a 110 proof. I don’t mind some heat, but in this case it takes away from what might be hiding underneath.
