Nose is milk chocolate and fresh apples, caramel chews as well. Long legs in the glass translate to an oily coating on the palate. Taste brings the best of Makers, at first a light apple flavor and creamy caramel, followed by chocolate and finally cinnamon and a nice heat in the chest. The finish fades back to a lingering floral and sweet apple. Although 20 proof points higher than regular Makers, it's a mellower drink and leaves behind the slight ethanol astringency I get in regular Makers Mark.
