Lovely caramel nose but too rough on the back of the throat to enjoy neat. Tasted at an event marking the launch of an outstanding Maker’s Mark Private Select bottle.

@jonwilkinson7309 Agreed, but Maker’s is doing something different by letting pickers choose a combination of staves to add to a barrel. There are enough unique combinations to let each store create something different and the one I tried last night was amazing. I will write more about it if I buy a bottle.
@Richard-ModernDrinking. Interesting indeed! I'm getting a little bit skeptical of private barrels. I know that some stores make great picks. But when everyone has them, they can't all be exceptional.
@BDanner Costco has done a private select? Interesting.
I was disappointed in this one. I got mine in a Costco 375ml 3pack with MMCask, 36Cask, and a Private Select. I’m hoping I enjoy the Private Select more.
