08/31/23 Proof Positive: Maker's Mark BRT-02 Wood Finishing Series 2022

Another great edition of proof positive as Ben and Joe tries out another rare bottle of bourbon. Listen in to find out if it is thumbs up or thumbs down with this week's proof positive. Thier fourth Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series may be the easiest way to taste your way through the rickhouse.  The name BRT was given to these expressions because of the influence our consistent practice of hand-barrel rotation (BRT) and temperature has on our whisky process. Made to be enjoyed as a pair, BRT-01 is inspired by the tasting notes found at the hotter top of the rickhouse, and BRT-02 is inspired by tasting notes found at the cooler bottom. Together, they give people the unique opportunity to experience where the characteristics responsible for the original Maker’s Mark come from, so they can reach a new level of understanding of whisky.
