Finished with ten virgin oak staves, this latest release from Maker's Mark in the wood-finished series is meant to commemorate and honor the folks who work at Maker's Mark in Loretto. Named the Heart release and bottled at 111.7 proof, the virgin oak staves have made this a real caramel bomb with milk chocolate, butterscotch and wood-spice notes not typically found in standard Maker's. If some of the wood-finished releases turn up the volume on the oak spice, this particular release has accentuated the sweeter notes found in Maker's. If you are a dessert whiskey lover like I am, you'll LOVE this bottling.
