I think it is right to give new nosing, palate and finish notes since I'm a little bit more accustomed to tasting whiskey (still a beginner, but I'm getting there) and that the Bottle is mostly at the end (maybe 2 pour remaining) . It still has a special place in my heart since it was the first one I got Nose : Even though it is low proof (45% abv) , I smell ethanol at first which isnt generally a good sign. It is followed by a mix of brown sugar, caramel. A little later I smell wave of vanilla. While nosing a little bit more, you can feel hint of citrus brightness and some really small hint of grassy/floral notes (am I crazy for this or it is the wheat?). A really faint note of nutmeg ? Palate : At first, there is certainly a presence of what I smell on the nose but it doesnt "coat" your mouth. It is more of a mouth drying feeling to it. It is certainly vanilla upfront with caramel and a bit of oak (kinda weird since I havent nosed that). There is a certain "minty" feeling to my tongue which I can't really recognize. Also cinnamon albeit a faint taste Finish: A moderate finish with caramel and some dry oak spice and cinnamon that build up over time, ( it did have a short one with the first few sips) Maker's Mark is certainly a bourbon that is a nice starting point to your adventure, but in the end it is a product that is not overly complex (even though I rambled a lot there) and doesn't have a ton of depth . It is certainly enjoyable, but at this point I just want more. When I got the 750 ml bottle it was a deal (10$ less than normal price) , but if It was the normal price point, I could just get better bourbon like the WT101 for the same price so I wont probably get another one after this.
