Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2021 FAE-01

This is great - well above average. The Wood Finishing Series is where Maker’s absolutely shines.

Bold roasted fruit notes on the nose. Like baked apples and cinnamon. A more mature and interesting palate than other Maker’s Mark expressions, starting off sweet and fruity before turning buttery and aromatic. Medium-short finish of nutmeg and molasses.

Nose: sweet red apple, Carmel, vanilla, brown sugar very strong sweet profile Palate: flavor bomb! Definitely taste the wood, baking spice, dark dried fruits, hint of tobacco Finish: one of the longer finishes I’ve had on a bourbon. The spice lingers, def get the heat from the higher proof on the back end but in a good way Overall it’s one of the more flavorful bourbons I’ve had, definitely a can’t miss buy at $65

N: nutty nutty nutty, corn, a hint of woody oak, apple butter T: peanut continues prominently, banana H: moderate O: a fun experiment in woody flavors, particular peanut. Really no bitter finish. A unique, flavorful taster.

Very oaky. Dry cherry, leather, and cinnamon.
