Distillery : Maker's Mark Owner : Maker's Mark Proof/ABV : 108.3°/54.15% Variety : Bourbon Country : USA Region : Kentucky Stave Selected for : BC Liquor Stores Stave Selection : 1 seared french cuvee, 2, makers 46, 4 roasted french mocha, 3 toasted french spice Nose : The nose has the typical Maker's Mark sweetness layered by notes of canided orange, cherries, caramel, pears, brown sugar and a slight hint of oak. Nose Score : 3.5 pts Palate : This whisky is full bodied, oaky and thick. The sweet notes of vanilla, caramel and cherries are present but not dominant. Notes of light spices, baking soda, caramel, dark chocolate creates a beautiful balance. I can't stop thinking about the mouthfeel. I like whiskies that you can almost chew. Palate Score : 4.5 pts Finish : This has a long and lovely finish with gentle layers of oak, cherries and tobacco. Very little spice notes here but the sweetness carries through. Finish Score : 4 pts Overall : Fantastic. This
