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!
The palate is rich and full. There are notes of rye and spice, barley malt, a little nut oil with butterscotch and vanilla.
