Makers Mark 46 Bourbon Whisky. Kentucky, United States. ABV: 47.00%. Tasted at the Elephant & Wheelbarrow, $11.
Colour: Deep dark copper.
Nose: Leathery vanilla notes; aniseed too.
Palate: Sweet aniseed flavours abound, balanced nicely with some heat & spice at the front of the mouth.
Finish: Dry, medium length; salted liquorice & pepper.
Comments: smooth entry, but some heat & spice to finish. It was ok, a fairly typical bourbon – nothing that makes it particularly stand out from the crowd.
