Maker's Mark Affirmed Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Colour

Rich copper-amber with honey-gold highlights and a sun-warmed, reddish undertone.

Nose

A luxuriously warm nose of vanilla bean and caramel, brightened by orange zest and ripe peach. Toasted oak layers with brown sugar, toffee and baking spice; a whisper of wheat adds creamy softness, finishing with a subtle amber-sweet lift.

Palate

Silky and balanced, with honeyed vanilla, caramel and light maple over toasted oak; grain-forward yet refined by Maker's Mark's soft wheat character, giving a creamy mouthfeel. Mid-palate spices—cinnamon, clove—emerge, then fade into a warm, lingering finish of bourbon sweetness and gentle oak.

Finish

Long, warm finish with creamy vanilla and caramel lingering over toasted oak. Subtle maple sweetness threads through soft baking spices, leaving a refined, silky afterglow that slowly fades to a whisper of oak.
