Maker's Mark Private Select Bourbon

Aroma: The nose opens with honeyed sweetness and wintergreen, followed by brown sugar, roasted almonds, and vanilla. Deeper breaths reveal fig, toffee, and a subtle floral note layered over banana bread and brown butter. Taste: The entry is smooth and creamy, with heavy caramel leading the way alongside vanilla custard and crème brûlée. The mid-palate builds with bold baking spice, brown sugar, and toasted oak. A second sip uncovers cocoa, sweet ripe fruit, almond, and sweet oat, with the 110 proof arriving late but integrating gracefully into the overall richness. Finish: Long and warm, with lingering sweetness, almond, and toasted sugar that slowly fade. The oak presence remains balanced throughout, never overtaking the fruit and caramel core. 110.5 Proof-Date:Jun 2024-ALC/VOL 55.25 750mL
