Maker's 46
Distillery: Maker's Mark Distillery. Loretto , KY Age: 9 YR Proof: 94 Nose: Greenhouse Floral, dark wood,marzipan, black tea,hickory smoke. Palate: Maple Sugar, Black Pepper Color: Auburn Notes: Maker’s 46 gets it’s name from the profile number of the seared French oak staves that are added during the extra aging. The profile number corresponds to the charring rate and temperature development in the staves which can bring out different flavors and characteristics in the wood. Those characteristics can in turn change the flavor of the whisky aged in it which becomes very noticeable when tasting Maker’s Mark and Maker’s 46 side by side. The extra aging and the double wood really transforms this whisky into something uniquely tasty. |
