Maker's Mark Bourbon

Different but good.

Nose is sweet of vanilla, brown sugar, cinnamon and corn. Light on the palate with black pepper spice, vanilla extract and leather. A strong bite on tongue afterwards. Medium length finish with charcoal flavors and pepper. A dryness and bitterness remain along with oak and molasses. A splash of water opens the sweetness and diminishes the bite and bitterness. This is much better over ice or with water. Decent and better than most bourbons and at a reasonable price. [85/100]. [Revisted: 2/1/15]

It was just alright
