Is Maker’s Mark’s NEW Age-Stated Cask Strength Actually Better…or Just Taller?

from Blind Tasting Podcast · host John Starck

Maker’s Mark just slapped a 7 year, 3 month age statement on their Cask Strength Straight Bourbon Whisky, and the bourbon world is buzzing. But is it actually better than the “old” version…or is this just a fancy new label and an extra inch of glass? I pour ’em side by side (not blind, don’t judge me), break down the nose, palate, finish, and decide once and for all: Keep It, Collect It, or Cull It.Grab my new book Whiskey Wisdom & Bourbon B.S.: Barrel Strength Legends, Lies, and Untold Tales here on Amazon:  https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FLNGXJL3Like what I'm doing?
