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.

Very pleasant and drinkable.Nice mix of different flavours.
This is my "go-to" bourbon for a classic whisky sour and it always delivers.
This bourbon has a pleasant taste. The flavour profile consists of honey, vanilla and almonds. This results in a smooth taste with a slight aftertaste of spice. It tastes great on its own or with a mixer like ginger ale. Adding a little ice compliments the flavour.
Excellent flavour profile, fruity on the nose and almost like a sweet whisky. Great first bottle to try bourbons.
A good balance between the sweetness and a spiciness bite. There is also a pleasing vanilla hit to the flavour. Good enough to be drunk neat.
