Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2024 The Heart Release

Nose- sweet brown sugar, notes of chocolate, honey graham crackers. Palate- sweet, but not cloying. This tastes like a milk chocolate bar! It is creamy and rich. It is coating with an oak backbone Finish- shorter finish, bit goes out on that milk chocolate and raspberry flavor. Does not drink like its proof might suggest Overall- this is a definate BUY bottle. Normally I find most Maker's Mark consistantly, meh. This ine is a pleasant surprise! It is chocolatey, oaky, creamy. It goes down easy and is sneaky for its proof. I love the richness and chocolate bar flavor. At 79.99 it is a winner!

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.
