Syrupy mouthfeel with a little spice on the tip of the tongue that lingers. I enjoy this in an old fashioned.

This golden amber drop is something special and all the way from Kentucky USA! It is a mist for all bourbon lovers!

On the nose you will find a subtle vanilla tone with notes of roses, line and cocoa.

Отличный кентукийский бурбон!
Многие говорят, что он простенький... но при этом большинство сравнивают бурбоны именно с Maker' Mark. Я бы его назвал эталоном бурбона, ибо он действительно настолько, на мой взгляд, классический и правильный, что по праву многими считается королем бурбонов.
Аромат изящный, много кукурузной сладости и ванильной выпечки. Явственно проступает дуб, а потом немного цветочной сладости, переходящей в пряности.
Вкус... вкус, для меня, безупречно правильный, может быть без сюрпризов, но явный, ожидаемый сильный. Явственно чувствуется кукуруза и дуб, ваниль, сладкая выпечка, мёд. Несмотря на 45% не спиртуозный.
Послевкусие долгое, с медовыми и ванильными нотками, переходящими к терпким пряностям.
Великолепный продукт, ни разу не пожалел, что покупаю его. Часто, выбирая бурбон в баре, беру именно его, т.к. знаю, что получу от этого напитка.

for the price, really nothing to complain about. a fairly balanced, spicy bourbon with secondary vanilla sweetness. would be a great mixer if you're looking for a spicy bourbon in your cocktails. rivals a buffalo trace, far better than a jack daniels or Jim beam

Nose

fairly subtle oak and vanilla. light alcohol, hint of orange.

Palate

dominant flavor is oak spice. secondary vanilla sweetness.

Finish

quick light finish, with slight oilliness on the end.

Sehr leichter Antritt ohne ausgeprägte Ecken und Kanten, es entwickeln sich typische Bourbon-Aromen, der Mais dominiert im Vordergrund mit angenhmen Vanillepudding-Noten und viel Caramel, das leicht bittere Noten aufweist, wenig Würze oder Schärfe, dafür leichte Klebstoffnoten und sprittig-Benzinigi Untertöne.

Smell of modelling glue on the nose, with a hint of bright apple lurking beneath. Vanilla emerges after a bit of sniffing. Creamy mouthfeel on sipping, with same vanilla first arising before a note of leather and cinnamon creeps in. The taste sensation fades away to leave a persistentdrying, fizzing sensation in the mouth.

Tasting @ L&B whiskybar Amsterdam. Round 4.

A sidestep to Kentucky for this round. We got the 45% uncoloured and chill filtered golden Maker's Mark.

At first nosing a bit alcoholic but the sweet stuff leads. A subtle vanilla is accompanied by caramel, toffee and honey. Besides the sweetness, this one is very wheaty and therefore very smooth. When you get past the sweetness, some fresh wood is detectable.

The sweet and spicy palate adds a few new elements. Hazelnut, sweet popcorn and white bread are amongst them.
It's a corn whisky so the caramel/honey sweetness here is obvious. The spice comes from the spicy young American oak I guess.

The smooth long finish offers some white bread and dry fruits besides the lingering honey sweetness.
The 2nd zip surprisingly had more power than the first.

A nicely balanced and sweet dram, but when I compare this one to the only other Kentucky bourbon I had, this one lost it in comparison to the magnificent Blanton's single barrel.

76 points.

A good benchmark to compare other burbons, Maker's Mark has a syrupy smoothness that makes it palatable to all who taste it.

Nose

Distinctly mellow caramel and vanilla scent. One must sniff deeply to get any hint that this is an alcohol.

Palate

Thick sweet caramel coats the tongue giving way to a smooth toffee and vanilla finish.

Finish

surprisingly fleeting for as syrupy as this burbon is. But overall it is pleasing. Aftertaste is of light oak and spice.
