Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2022 BRT-01

On the nose there is strong notes of vanilla, oak, char, leather, spice (maybe clove), and a slight toasted apple. First sip offers black pepper up front, oak, and a char finish. Ice doesnt change much. Pepper up front, oak and vanilla mid taste, and char finish. This one is good but nothing special to me.

Baking caramel, sweet vanilla, maple syrup and light toasted oak nose with a toasted vanilla, charred caramel, light black cherry, and light toasted barrel taste. Long charred caramel barrel finish.

Intensely aromatic and baking-spice forward. Absolutely lovely.
