Maker’s 46

Country: USA

Region: Kentucky

Type: Bourbon

Bottler: Distiller

ABV: 47%

Score: 94 Points

The first new bourbon from Maker’s Mark in years is finished in barrels using seasoned and specially seared oak staves, leading to a more intense flavor than regular Maker’s Mark. The nose has a good balance of oak, vanilla, caramel, and allspice notes. The taste is spicy and intense, and the cinnamon fades to reveal sweeter notes of maple syrup and caramel candy. The finish is spicy and lingering.
