Batch 23-06
ABV 54.75%

Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.

Tasting Notes:

Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and caramel.

Taste: Robust, warm texture with notes of caramel, vanilla and spice.

Finish: Long finish on front of tongue, harmonious with no harsh bitterness.

“This is what I wish the standard Makers Mark would be: more mature, spicier, more complex, and with a richer finish. Caramel kissed with honey provides a base for marzipan, cotton candy, cinnamon, clove, and a balancing leather dryness on the finish.” – John Hansell, Whisky Advocate
