Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, 47% ABV
Description
Maker's Mark 46 Bourbon Whisky is a bolder, more complex expression of the original Maker's Mark, created by finishing the fully-matured standard bourbon with ten seared French oak staves. This unique process adds layers of caramel, vanilla, and baking spice while retaining the brand's signature smoothness.
Tasting Notes
Nose: Inviting aromas of toasted French oak, rich caramel, vanilla, and baking spices. Reviewers note hints of graham cracker and a touch of fruitiness.
Palate: A smooth and creamy mouthfeel with a balance of sweet and spice. Flavors include vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, and a subtle peppery kick.
Finish: A pleasingly long, velvety, and smooth finish, with lingering hints of spice, toffee, and a soft charred wood or dry oak note.
