Maker's Mark Cellar Aged (2024 Release), 59.65%

Price: 175 Issue: Spring 2025 Reviewer: Julia Higgins Category: Bourbon/Tennessee Whiskey

This is the second release of Maker’s Cellar Aged, and it pushes the highest age in the blend up to 13 years. The nose is fragrant with freeze-dried strawberries, fluffernutter, and peanut shells—a sort of deconstructed PB&J. The palate is fruity but balanced, combining notes of chocolate and roasted chestnut with cherry and wheat toast. More fruit on the finish, concluding a pleasant, if unremarkable ride. (Release date: 9/24).
