A decent sipper, but not high in the bourbon spice that I like. Not great in an old fashioned. The original is better.

VERY gentle. it's got caramel and vanilla with a little oak, and a big dose of maraschino cherries. ends a little bitter, but just a very friendly bourbon

I had an idea this might be a gimmick but it is really good. I like the regular Maker's but it is not what I would call a favorite. This however, has potential. The good notes are strong and well represented. It has lots of wood and vanilla with just light smoke. It didn't seem as Floral as regular makers but still nicely balanced. IMO, 46 is worth the extra $ over the standard offering.

Nice surprise, familiar bourbon notes with a buttery cinnamon notes at the end. Reminesence of French toast or warm buttered cinnamon bread. Very drinkable as it pours. Looj forward to finding a call strength bottle. Great value for the price!

A mild bourbon with a sweet vanilla and oak taste, best served on the rocks and sipped. The flavors really open up with the ice melting.

One of the better middle shelfers. More of a burn than I desire. Aroma of wood and caramel. Good flavors followed by a dominating burn.

Great bourbon for the price. Not the most smooth but pretty easy to put down. Good oak barrel taste and some slight hints of caramel. I always have a bottle of Makers 46 on hand!

Pretty good! Lots of sweetness but nothing bold or overpowering. A step above the standard Maker's Mark
Nose
Sweet, vanilla, honey
Palate
Big vanilla, butter (not buttery), toffee
Finish
All the flavors just fade away, nothing new
Jeffry747 says on October 2, 2018
General description
Nose is sweet toasted oak and vanilla. Strong sweetness forward, oily and creamy on the tongue. It has that liquid butter toffee aspect to it, but not as strong as the Seared Bu. Finish is medium in length with dominant oak notes

people can knock this but it's exactly what a wheated bourbon is meant to be, oak rounds out palate, longer finish with caramel on the back

wheat apparent with flat body and some sweetness that differs from Makers traditional. Not worth the effort

Nice sipping bourbon. Vanilla, cinnamon, and oak, all very smooth. A splash of water dulls the finish considerably, otherwise a long finish with medium spice.
bdawson57 says on December 19, 2017
General description
Amped up Maker's; a little more depth and smoothness. Extra aging helps to bring out more oak.
Nose
Sweetness with wheat and vanilla.
Palate
Carmel and vanilla with an undefined desert sweetness.
Finish
A long finish with a nice fade.

Not a Bourbon fan and 46 didn't change my mind. Good Bourbon smell but needs ice to mellow out. Too pricey for a mixer.
Nose
Good Bourbon smell
Palate
Too strong for my taste
Finish
Lingers
DCALLIHAN says on December 10, 2017
General description
The aroma is not as forceful as regular Maker's, but equally as defining with it's evenness. The time spent with French Oak staves definitely develops this spirit all around. It brings more Caramel and Cinnamon on the nose and Vanilla and Oak on the toungue. Taste feels like it is finished and then lightly continues on. Brief burn on the lips with the initial sip and in the medium finish. Candied Maker's. Yum. The balanced mixture of flavors attained by good blended whiskeys.... without blending whiskeys.
