Mashbill: 70% corn / 16% wheat / 14% malted barley.
Price: $16.99 for 375 mL at Total Wine in Houston, Texas
Setting: Neat in a Glencairn, with a fat basset hound snoring loudly next to me.
Color: Copper
Nose: Maple syrup, brown sugar, cinnabuns, powdered sugar, and oak. Potent and inviting. (24/25 points)
Taste: Potent cinnamon, French toast, and buttered popcorn. A pleasant level of heat. (44/50 points)
Finish: Fairly short. Residual sweetness and cinnamon with some oak bitterness. (16/25) points)
Conclusion: I really like this. The nose is superb and the taste is great too. Both are reminiscent of a weekend breakfast. This is a big step-up in quality compared to normal Maker’s Mark. I’m eager to try the cask strength version of this.
84/100
