First time I tried Maker’s Private selections i did not like it. It was too strong with unfamiliar oak. So I guess you could say this is not as approachable as other finished bourbons like Woodford Double Oaked. That said, these bottles have now become some of my favorites. This particular bottle is 0-0-2-6-2 at 110 proof. On the nose I find stong cherry and floral notes. On the palette there is also buttercream, spices, leather and umami. Overall very sweet, delicious and easy to drink.
