Distilled by Maker's Mark, this barrel proof release is a Private Selection featuring a unique stave combination, selected by Whiskey Raiders and ReserveBar. Maker's Mark utilizes a wheated bourbon mashbill and this particular recipe takes advantage of 4 Seared French Cuvee staves, 2 Makers Mark 46 staves and 4 Roasted French Mendiant staves to create a distinct taste profile.

Rich and sweet, brown butter, toffee, cinnamon and sugar toast, light cocoa and cream together on the nose - it's a fat stack of dessert all day long.
Rich on the palate, there's pleasant viscosity and plentiful savory and sweet layers: butter cream and butter scotch give way to French Oak spice, cinnamon, toffee and some brown butter and nougat. Gorgeous cherry cordials
Long finish, much heavier on the baking spicer here with tons of sweet cream, clove, cinnamon and a hint of cracked pepper and maple.
These Private Selects from Maker's Mark have such a high floor and an even higher ceiling for quality and this selection is among my favorites in recent years, layering together opulent sweetness and balancing spice with ease.
