Joe Riley Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 For the first time, Maker's Mark has released a new product as a line extension: Maker's 46, which is Maker’s Mark bourbon that received additional aging in barrels containing internal seared French oak staves. There's a lot of information about it online, and Malt Advocate has followed this product as it's been created. Here's a nice video of Maker's Mark President Bill Samuels, Jr. and Master Distiller Kevin Smith discussing it: Video I've tasted it and it's pretty decent stuff. Definitely notice the aggressive wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWBooneJr Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Is this more like a long-aged Bourbon or does it venture into Scotch territory? And any idea when we'll see it for sale here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's available here now. It really tastes like a long-aged Bourbon, no Scotch notes to it at all, but I wouldn't expect those sorts of flavors in this product.
