The nose on this bourbon has cherry, oak and citrus peel. I’m not surprised because I always seem to get sweet oak and cherries with Maker’s Mark. The fruit notes I got on the nose are dialed back on the palate for me. I really wish those fruit notes were present on the palate. I think that would provide more balance in the whiskey. Still a great bottle, either way!
