This particular Makers is really interesting as it is very flavorful and leaves a lot on the pallet during the finish. The nose is full of oak, fruit, and cacao. Toffee and caramel are also in the mix. Upon sipping this bourbon, there is an immediate sweetness followed by a smokey presence. The smoke lingers well into the finish. The caramel taste mixed with butter is quite delicious and certainly worth the price of the bottle. I wouldn’t consider the finish to be long but it is very pleasant.
