Tasting Notes

Nose

Spicy-fruity — sharp clove, sandalwood, nutmeg, cocoa, ripe cherries. Vanilla, buttermilk pancakes, fresh pastry, burnt crème brûlée, apricot, candied honey, nougat and almond torte. Complex and layered.

Palate

Toasty and spicy — cocoa-covered cherry, zingy spice, sarsaparilla and apricot. Bright caramel, vanilla cupcakes and buttered toast. The American oak staves from the top rickhouse positions add intensity. At 109.4 proof, full-bodied.

Finish

Tart and spicy. The oak influence from the hot-positioned barrels lingers with genuine warmth.

Expert Review

7.8/10

Maker's Mark's hand-barrel-rotation experiment — American oak staves from the hottest rickhouse positions at cask strength.
