Maker's Mark is a world-famous bourbon whisky produced in Loretto, Kentucky. The brand is known for its red wax seal, which is said to be applied by hand to each bottle.
A brilliant whisky (note: Maker's Mark is one of just a few distilleries in the US to spell whisky sans the "e"!) it is made to a mashbill first developed by Bill Samuels Sr, which uses red winter wheat instead of rye. The result, therefore, can be described as a "wheated bourbon", and it's all the more smooth and creamy because of it!
Fruity and rich. There are lovely notes of spiced honey and mixed peels, a little malmsey, hazelnut and a touch of cut fruit with toasty oak providing a backbone.
Rich and full. There are notes of rye and spice, barley malt, a little nut oil with butterscotch and vanilla.
Quite sweet with butterscotch and dry oak spice.

This is a bombroof all rounder. Makes fantastic whiskey sours and old fashioneds and you can also just join it on its own. Pretty much an essential for the cupboard.
Smoothly progressing to creamy finish.
very good bourbon, best one ive had in a while! would highly recommend this to anyone, although nothing has beat the barton 1792 yet!
A little sweet and strong tasting bourbon, very good, I like it! This is a keeper for me!
Smell and taste are both quite harsh. To my nose it has a strong smell of farin sugar with some citrus. The taste is strong in burnt sugar, with more emphesis on the bitterness, spice but not in the pleasant way that for example rye whisky is. It mixes well with coke and then the emphasis comes more into the citrus side of things.
