Makers Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky
Maker's Mark4.7(3,200 reviews)
Makers Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky is the signature flagship expression of the distillery, handcrafted at the historic Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky. Distilled from a mash bill composed of yellow corn, malted barley, and soft red winter wheat, it is aged to taste in charred new American white oak barrels. It pours a brilliant, natural amber-coppery color. The nose is highly expressive and sweet, presenting rich aromas of fresh honey, vanilla bean, warm caramel, toasted hazelnut, and soft wood spices. On the palate, it delivers a remarkably smooth, full-bodied, and velvety mouthfeel filled with delicious flavors of brown sugar, butterscotch, creamy vanilla, and toasted oak, culminating in a exceptionally clean, warming, and sweet wheat-forward finish.

Taste: 5/5Value: 5/5
“Absolutely spectacular! Visited a local outlet in Gomti Nagar and picked up Makers Mark Straight Bourbon Whisky. At ₹3,880 in Lucknow, this represents incredible value. The notes of Sweet Red Winter Wheat and Rich Caramel & Vanilla Fudge pair phenomenally well with home-cooked Mutton Galouti Kebab. Highly recommended!”
