Nose: Candy sweet, cherries, caramel, and vanilla
Taste: Medium bodied with spices and sweetness but smooth finish
Review:
Similar to Maker’s Mark but smoother due to a longer aging process and the addition of seared French Oak staves (curved part of the barrel). The staves are steeped in the whisky at the end of the distillation process and provide more flavor. The name of this whisky comes from the ranking profile of the charred staves, which is “46”.
NYC tip; I don’t know the bartenders name, but at the Grand Central Oyster Bar Saloon at Grand Central Terminal on 42nd St. there is a older gentleman who tends bar several nights a week. He is a true old school bartender that can make a perfect drink. Order a Makers Mark 46 Manhattan Straight up and let me know your thoughts in the comment section or on Facebook. Just writing this review makes me want to head over there now!
Priced around $50 and worth the money. I highly recommend this whisky for cocktails and your home bar.
If you like it, drink it!
