Maker's Mark Private Selection Generations of Proof Final Chapter (2019 Private Selection)

Mm ps generation's taste off 2021 Nose has a little ethanol, sweet hint of wood Green oak hits you first, then spicy, light ethanol caramel. Light young oak finish. 4.1/5 2020 Less ethanol on the nose, less wood but replaced with caramel. 4.4/5 Toasted carmel/marshmallow pops in your mouth then light spicy sweet maybe caramelized orange. Warm numb and tangy buttery finish. 2019 Carmel bomb nose. Super rich butterscotch, caramel,  a little crem brule. Smooth and sweet but not too sweet. Rich warm light oak finish. 4.5/5 I can see liking either the 2019 or the 20 on any given night. Tonight the 2019 wins with a more viscous and longer finish.

Taste: Strong vanilla cake and maple up front. Warm booziness with oak tannins throughout. It finishes with fresh coffee beans. Look: Deep amber Smell: Warm vanilla and oak

Stellar. Sweet but not cloying, smooth but not smothered. Finish is very, very clean too. This is my first taste of MM and it’s probably my preferred camp of bourbons so far.

The MM2019 nose is a warm blanket of toasted vanilla. And it’s even smoother as I finish off the glass. A real substantial drink

This one came in a little hotter than I expected for the proof. Decent over ice, but still pretty hot
