“Very pleasant and drinkable.Nice mix of different flavours.”

Description
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!
Tasting Note by The Chaps at Master of Malt
Nose
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.
Palate
Rich and full. There are notes of rye and spice, barley malt, a little nut oil with butterscotch and vanilla.
Finish
Quite sweet with butterscotch and dry oak spice.
