Another good one from Makers. Their cask strength finished offerings are routinely good. This one isn't on the level of an FAE-01 but it is good all the same. Nose is maple, caramel and floral - really quite good. Palate is very sweet, with cherry and the same maple and caramel. On the finish, the oak staves really show up and there is a ton of spice, almost to the point of bitterness. It is the only blemish in this, but I actually like the presence of the spice as a differentiator. If you stick with it, the spice dies down a little as you continue on with the drink. I'm a fan. The special releases are better than this, but it's awfully good. The only question is if there is any reason to get this instead of the normal 46 for $30. I think this offers a punchier experience and is probably worthwhile, but I haven't tried them side by side quite yet. I'm a big fan of the 46 as a daily drinker and don't think the added expense and difficulty charts out, but I won't know for sure until I compare. Until then, I'll enjoy this in any event.
