Cask Strength Batch 26-03

Maker’s Mark Cask Strength Batch 26-03 represents a highly acclaimed entry in Maker's age-stated lineup. Bottled at 109.6 proof with an age statement of 7 years, 5 months, this expression has been praised for bringing exceptional balance and unique tasting notes to the standard wheated profile. 

Nose: It leads with rich, inviting aromas of sweet oak, classic vanilla, butterscotch, and warming baking spices. An underlying note of crisp peppermint provides an unexpected but pleasant contrast.

Palate: The texture is moderately oily rather than heavily viscous. It features distinct notes of cherry Twizzlers, balanced by a stronger presence of sweet corn and a continuation of the herbal mintiness found on the nose. 

Finish: Medium to long, drinking slightly under its actual proof point. It leaves lingering impressions of light cherry and barrel char, highlighted by a standout milk chocolate and peanut note that mimics Peanut M&Ms.
