Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2024 The Heart Release

Nose: roasted nuts, carmel, toffee, maple coffee cake Pallet: baking spice, fall baking desert, toasted feel, burnt caramel, cinnamon on finish One of the best noses of all Makers products. Burnt or toasted caramel. Great Fall taste. Dark baking spice and cinnamon finish on tongue.

Volume 1 of 5 This is wonderful! An anniversary gift from Michelle with wax and the namesake of the band we SHOULD have seen in August. It’s sweet but also spicy. The maple and caramel are very straightforward, and the spiced notes are strong. It’s very fall-like and warm.

Kind of disappointing

Not much on the front end. Sweeter chocolate finish with a little heat in the end. Good but not for the price or compared to past MM releases.

Better than a typical makers mark - less of the saccharine sweet than typical here.

Nose: cinnamon, nutmeg, fruity cherry, woody sticky seeet maple. Taste: sweet maple spiking quickly to a hot and spicy cinnamon rolling back into a sweet chocolate then ending in a bitter burn of nutmeg and chard spices. Very enjoyable pour with levels of complexity. On the sweet side but evened out by its bitter finish.

Was fine until the finish hit, unpleasant spice ruins this one for me
