I have just reviewed Maker's 46 at my blog - www.newwhiskyworld.blogspot.com

Very pleased with what Kevin Smith and the team have produced.

Archer,

Whilst it is true I would like as many people as possible to read my blog that is not the sole reason. My full review is quite long, too long for a forum post, but I appreciate your point. I will make sure I have a synopsis of the review on here. Here it is for Maker's 46:

Maker's Mark has always had a very distinctive nose and Maker's 46 follows the same pattern - vanilla, toffee, honey and butter. To taste, it is no surprise that Kevin Smith and his team have stuck to the mantra at Maker's of "remove the bitterness". This bourbon is so smooth it almost feels as though you could spread it on your toast in the morning and the hefty 47% ABV slips by unnoticed. All of those sweet notes from the nose continue on the palate and thoughts of creamy toffees come to mind with the complement of cinnamon. For the finish it becomes sweet joy again with those same caramel and toffee themes. Unlike most bourbon, where rye is used in the mash bill, there is no side-of-the mouth bitterness.

Jonny.
