Budget basic
Only one source has scored this: Does the job and doesn't pretend otherwise. Bottom-third reviews at a bottom-third price. The Bourbon Culture gives it 6.5/10, vs. 7.8/10 for the typical bourbon (473 rated).
Maker's Mark 46 is a Kentucky straight bourbon whisky finished with seared French oak staves (Stave Profile No. 46) added to fully matured barrels, giving it a richer, spicier character than standard Maker's Mark. Made from a wheated mash bill of corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley, it is bottled at 94 proof (47% ABV) with notes of vanilla, caramel, and baking spice.
