Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2023 BEP

Nose: Brown sugar and caramel greet you as you lift the glass before notes of dry cinnamon sticks, and charred oak along with a large dose of baking spices. Palate: Flavors of brown sugar, rich toasted oak, and brown butter start off before turning over to cinnamon, dry aged oak, and baking spice notes. Overall: A classic wheated bourbon that is very well balanced.

A bunch of vanilla and brown sugar. A rich sweetness through the whole dram. Just the right amount of vanilla before transitioning to that spicy middle, which highlights hints of cinnamon sugar. A interesting coffee like finish with a strong delivery at 110 proof.

Very tasty varaint that is even better with a little water to open it up.
