Tasting
How it drinks
- Sight
- Deep mahogany with dark amber edges; full-bodied and viscous
- Nose
- Baked orchard fruit, caramel-drizzled apple pie, and intensely spiced aromatics. The blend of three age statements (including 14yo — the oldest Maker's component yet) delivers fruitier, deeper, and darker character than the 2024 release
- Palate
- Fruitier and darker than the 2024 — baked orchard fruit transitions from caramel apple pie into dark, heavily reduced apple butter. The 14-year-old component adds unprecedented depth for Maker's Mark. Rich, complex, and warming
- Finish
- Long finish with persistent baked fruit, spice, and deep oak. The evolution from bright fruit to concentrated apple butter continues through the finish
Tasting notes are AI-assisted and still being refined.
