    Body
    Just a little spicy, dry and smooth
    Palate
    A bit smokey, wood and orange.
    Finish
    Medium and warm finish. Spices remains. Nice wood taste.

    I saw this bourbon for a long time before trying it. I was definitely wrong. Not the best bourbon but definitely a good one that worth a try. Good product for the price.

    I am surprised at the somewhat low score. This is one of my favorite whiskys. It is not very expensive and is best neat. Not a very good mixer, but one of the best to drink straight.

    Color
    Reddish amber.
    Nose
    Vanilla, apple, brown sugar.
    Body
    Medium-bodied, smooth and creamy. Doesn't burn.
    Palate
    Sour apple, vanilla, caramel notes coming through, with subtle undertones of molasses.
    Finish
    A warming, tingly finish that doesn't last too long but lingers enough to make me want another sip.

    I prefer Maker's with just a touch of pure, room-temperature water. It's not an extremely complex whiskey, but it is pleasant, drinkable, and very smooth.

    I like the way this whiskey feels in the mouth. Its flavours come out in a fiery burst while it is quite gentle on the tongue.
