Maker's Mark Kentucky Cask Strength Bourbon / 750mL

This new offering is bottled at 109.7 proof, making it fiery but flavorful. Expect a stab of alcohol even while inhaling the lovely creme brulee-like aroma. The palate is extremely drying, showing mainly oak at first, but opening up to caramel, toffee and burnt orange peel. Adding much-needed water pales the taste to cinnamon Red Hots. 88 Points Wine Enthusiast
