Maker's Mark, Bourbon Cask 7 Years
The red wax gets all the attention, but the wheat is what makes Maker's taste like Maker's. Where most bourbons load the mash bill with rye and come out spicy, Maker's swaps in soft red winter wheat, which is why the whiskey lands round and sweet instead of sharp. This bottling carries a seven-year age statement, and that time in charred oak shows up as deeper caramel, toasted vanilla and a darker edge of barrel char. Everything else is the usual Loretto routine, right down to the hand-dipped wax. State the cask strength. This is Maker's Mark Cask Strength 7 Year: uncut, unfiltered, bottled at barrel proof (approx. 107-114 proof / 53.5-57% ABV, varying by batch), with the age stated down to the year and month. Water or a big rock is not optional decoration here - it opens the whiskey up. It also turns out an unusually smooth Old Fashioned, if that's your lane.
