Bourbon
Nose
Probably the highlight. Rich classic bourbon on the nose. Boozy pancakes, maple syrup, brown sugar, vanilla, and caramel. Breakfast at IHOP.
Palate
A bit thin/flat. Probably the strongest taste of Coca-Cola I’ve ever experienced in a whiskey, maybe even more than the current neutered Coke. Brown sugar and vanilla returns.
Finish
Soft, alternating between sweet and gently spicy. Very pleasing but not long. Chocolate, toffee, and that “Maker’s Mark cinnamon.”
Overall Notes
Classic bourbon. A better version than the regular Maker’s Mark in terms of richness and complexity, but still very straightforward. Good enough for summer sippin’.
