Maker’s Mark 2024 Heart Release

Tasting Notes

Maker's Mark "The Heart Release" is here, and it's not your typical wheated bourbon. This cask-strength expression, finished with unique French oak staves in Maker's limestone cellar, delivers a rich, oak-forward experience. Think dark chocolate, caramel sweetness, and a noticeable oak presence reminiscent of older bourbons. The high proof is deceptive; it's surprisingly easy to drink, leading to a long, lingering finish. However, the oak can be a bit dominant, creating a potentially polarizing experience for those expecting the classic Maker's profile. Still, at its price point, it’s a worthwhile exploration for bourbon fans seeking something a little different.
