Maker's Mark – 101 Proof Bourbon Whisky (75cl, 50.5%)

Maker's Mark 101 is a higher-strength version of the Maker's Mark wheated bourbon, bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) in a 750ml bottle. It is made in Loretto, Kentucky. The mash bill is 70% corn, 16% wheat and 14% malted barley, and the bourbon is aged around six years. The wheat keeps it rounder and sweeter than rye-recipe bourbons. Rich amber in colour, it has caramel, vanilla and oak on the nose. The palate is smooth and full-bodied with caramel, vanilla and a hint of spice, and the finish is long and warm with a touch of sweetness.
