Maker’s Mark Cask Strength
Country: USA
Region: Kentucky
Type: Bourbon
Bottler: Distiller
ABV: 56.6%
Score: 93 Points
This was originally available only at the distillery, but is now in wider release and can best be described as the regular Maker’s Mark on steroids. The nose is soft and aromatic with toasted bread and hints of ginger, cinnamon, oak, and vanilla. The taste has the classic Maker’s Mark notes of cinnamon, oak, vanilla, and caramel, but in a spicier and richer combination than the regular version of Maker’s. The finish is warm, long, and spicy. Note that the ABV will vary by batch. (September, 2014)
