First time trying freshly popped bottle, enjoying neat. Nose - a heap of cinnamon takes over the nose. There is also a lot of baking spices and oak plus some vanilla, but not as much as you would think considering it’s in the description on the bottle. Taste - a lot going on here. I find myself trying a sip over and over trying to figure it all out. I get quite a bit of cinnamon spices that is quite warm on the tongue. Light vanilla and caramel but I was expecting more. Flavors I get are heavy spicy cinnamon, light vanilla, light caramel, heavy mint, and oak. The finish is medium with candy, a bitterness and then oak at the very end. Very well balanced of sweet and spicy on the palate. Overall - makers mark nailed another one and they didn’t steer far away from home. Full of flavor, great looking bottle, classic red wax, plus it’s allocated. This makes for a great bottle. I find myself wanting more and more.
