Maker's Mark Private Selection: Sugar Cookie

The complete bottle name wouldn't fit here, but this specific taste is for Marker's Mark Private Selection: Sugar Cookie from Total Wine Socal Stores. The initial aroma of this distinctive bourbon reflects its alcohol content. However, upon tasting, you encounter sweet, sugary notes mingled with rich chocolate undertones. Some spirits at this proof tend to coat the palate or feel velvety, but this one does not. The entire flavor profile is underscored by a spicy alcohol warmth characteristic of its proof, but it's not unpleasant. Special edition Marker's Mark bottles consistently deliver, and this one is certainly a crowd-pleaser. Tasted neat in a whiskey glass.
