Makers Mark Private Selection (OHLQ) "Pecan Pie" stave profile

Oak, vanilla, dark roast nuts/pecan, cinnamon, spices, sweet nougat vs. caramel. This is the OHLQ All Star Collection. I enjoy this more than 'grandma's kitchen' bc it's more balanced w the oak and roasted nuts. Grandma's kitchen is enjoyable but a spice bomb compared to this. I have tried the 'Queen City' and that may have a slight edge...only time will tell

Aroma: vanilla, caramel, roasted nuts, oak, ethanol, barrel char, graham crackers, smoked pecan wood. Palate: creamy, vanilla, nougat, some pecan. Finish: medium to short, cinnamon, oak, slightly drying. This was my second tasting from the bottle, and I liked it more than the initial pour.

It lacks pecan or pie notes. I won't spend my cash on this or other Maker's Mark variations

Sweet like confectionery!
