A bottle of Maker's Mark Bourbon. Photo courtesy Maker's Mark. I’ve enjoyed Maker’s for years, but never did tasting notes for it until now. The nose is warm and oaky with notes of vanilla and wheat toast. The taste is big, luscious, spicy, and smooth with notes of cinnamon, oak, vanilla, and caramel. The finish is warm and smooth with soft spices and a touch of oak.
