Color: Gin clear

General description

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!

it's a bourbon that tastes like bourbon. there are a few nuances but nothing out of the ordinary. this is a good bourbon, but it can become a little boring

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

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.

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.

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.

Too strong for my taste

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.
