Maker’s Mark 46 700ml

DESCRIPTION

The first line extension to the Maker’s Mark range since the ’50s, Maker’s 46 is essentially the standard expression with added spice. This bourbon was not intended to compete with the core expression, instead it’s a cousin to it, something different for those that like spicy whiskey. They add this extra dimension by inserting seared French oak staves into the barrels (with the stave profile “number 46” – thus the name). It’s utterly stunning.

Vol: 700ml

Alc%: 47%

Brand: Maker’s Mark

Country: USA

Tasting note: Starting with fully matured Maker’s Mark Bourbon, this is then further aged in oak with additional oak staves inside the barrel to provide a bit more spice to this traditionally soft sweet bourbon. This is also bottled at 94 proof for another nice kick to the palate. Well done.
