Another one I tasted at Oak and Steel. Previous tasting notes tell more info of my experience at this local (KCMO area) whisky bar.
This specific Markers Mark bottle is 21-01 Proof 110.6 ABV 55.3%
I learned a lot about Makers Mark (and whisky overall) at Oak and Steel. It sure was nice to sit and talk to the owner who knows far more about whisky than I.
As for this specific bottle... Nose: Honey, Cinnamon and Apple
Mouthfeel was thick and creamy.
Super leggy in the glass. Flavor: Sweet, apple, cinnamon, cream and vanilla.
This was my first sampling of cask strength Maker's Mark and I was quite pleased with it.
It is both enlightening and frustrating to learn that finding that perfect bottle of Makers Mark means I may never find it again so I either have to buy several right away or risk only having it once in a lifetime.
Its cool though because every run can be so different and unique in flavor.
I really liked this one but it could take a long time or no time at all to find one I like more.
This one probably would not be a run out and purchase but I sure would not turn it down either if I found it or saw it at a bar.
Ratings have nothing to do with cost - just my impressions.

@DjangoJohnson I can't wait to read your notes and see what you get from it! Also curious about the other two! Good thought to grab them while you could!
I have a bottle of this in my collection I haven’t opened yet. Your review makes me look forward to it. Because of cost, I also picked up 21-3 and 21-4. Just to be on the safe side.
