Maker's Mark Bourbon 90 Proof 750ml

I finally opened this bottle last weekend and the cinnamon and toasted nuts really come through on the finish, making it perfect for sipping neat. The 90 proof gives it just enough warmth without being harsh, and my old fashioned turned out way better than with my usual budget bourbon.

The toffee and vanilla come through perfectly smooth, with just enough oak to balance it out. I've been sipping this neat lately and it's dangerously easy to drink.

The toffee and vanilla come through smooth and warm, but that toasted oak finish is what keeps me coming back for another pour. It’s got enough depth for sipping neat without feeling heavy, and the 90 proof hits just right.
