Maker's Mark 101 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is the same Maker's Mark we all love with the same wheated mash bill — 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley. And it is aged "around six years" — famously being bottled when ready. The difference is that Maker's Mark 101 is delivered at 101 proof (50.5% ABV). And friends… it makes a difference.
Nose: The aroma is deep and sweet with oak spices and a bread pudding note. Flavor: Taken neat, the mouth-feel is rich and creamy with a velvet spice, dark caramel, apple, and marmalade. Finish: The finish is really satisfying and approachable with a lingering toffee truffle note.
