Maker’s Mark Private Selection The Community Batch Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Tasting Notes
Nose Caramel and almond up front with dark fruits, cherry, chocolate and very subtle spice.
Palate Round, dark with cured tobacco, heavy notes of dried fruit, like prunes or figs, along with soft, but dry baking spices.
Finish There’s a long, viscous finish that hangs around; it’s an incredible balance of astringent and oily.
Distillery Information
Maker’s Mark is a small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. Soft red winter wheat is the Maker’s Mark® flavoring grain and star of its mash bill. The limestone shelf where the distillery is located is key to crafting the unique taste of Maker’s Mark. Kentucky limestone filters out iron from water, which is unpleasant in bourbon, and the pure calcium and magnesium-rich water surrounding the distillery makes a better sour mash in which yeast can flourish. The copper stills are key to Maker’s Mark double-distillation process, which removes impurities for a more refined sipping whisky. The 525-pound barrels are then rotated by hand to ensure proper exposure to the different temperatures around the rackhouse. The barrels spend a minimum of three hot Kentucky summers in the top of the rackhouse where the whisky expands through the wood, gaining color and flavor.
