Maker’s Mark Private Select Batch 5
$138.65
Rich amber in colour, from a first-fill American oak barrel. The top notes are nose-cooling and minty, backed by oak shavings and charcoal; there is a suggestion of linseed oil and vanilla toffee at the base. A smooth texture and a sweetish oaky taste, finishing long with some spice and mentholic spearmint, and an oaky aftertaste.
An exclusive for us, this limited edition bourbon was finished in bespoke barrels chosen by our team of experts here at The Whisky Shop. Beginning with a cask strength Maker’s Mark Kentucky Whiskey, the liquid had a final nine-week slumber in our oak stave barrel within their limestone cellar. Our barrel was crafted with a combination of one Baked American P2, seven French Roasted Mendient and two Maker’s 46 staves. Bottled at 55.3%, this is a special whisky made possible through harmonious collaboration.
On the nose, notes of creamy milk chocolate are complimented by marinated fruits. Leading into the palate, we find even more chocolate flavours, still creamy and rich. Orange peel, nutmeg and tonka bean notes follow, along with buckets of vanilla. The finish is long and slightly drying, with mouth coating fruit and nut flavours.
