Glass: Glencairn, rested 15 minutes. Color: Medium amber. Nose: Caramel, vanilla, some light fruit. Palate: Baking spice, some clove and a touch of cinnamon. Finish: Medium length with medium heat. Splash: The clove notes become more prominent, but rhe other notes from the palate are still present. Overall: 7.5/10 - This is priced between the 101 proof and the private select, and it seems to be for this reason: this is the 90 proof makers in a single barrel at barrel entry proof. No more or less rhan that. If you like regular Maker's, you might like this more since it's the.same thing dialed up to 11. What is doesn't bring is anything else: the stave finishing of the private selects or the wild experimentation of the wood finishing or cellar aged variants. It's good, but Maker's has shown that they're capable of so much more.
