Maker's Mark Private Selection Generations of Proof Final Chapter (2021 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: It has strong vanilla with a sharp ethanol character. It finishes with mild oak and cinnamon. Look: Deep amber Smell: Some vanilla (but less prominent than the others in this set) along with gingerbread

This one feels far worse than the other two in the set, but it still has some good caramel and spice. Doesn’t seem as refined as the others; this finish is clean but not nearly as smooth.

Pretty hot straight up, better on a cube. Wouldnt buy but glad to recieve as a gift.

Decent taste, pretty hot for the proof, a little better over a big cube
