Some of the oldest Maker's Mark barrels EVER to be bottled including 85% 13yr old whisky, the 2024 Maker's Mark Cellar Aged pushes into the deepest darkest char notes I've ever tasted from this brand. These barrels have been sitting in a 47 degree cellar though since 2017, mitigating some of the effects of longer ageing on this relatively delicate and fruit forward distillate. The result is a flavor juggernaut with layers of nougat, brown sugar, and very intense oak leading into darker fruit territory throughout.
