Currently the company is undergoing expansion with third still. The expansion seeks to replicate their existing setup to maintain character and quality. No age statement, but said to be about 6 years old. Caramel, toffee, butter. Toasted oak is really coming across as butterscotch to me. Cinnamon and vanilla. Sweet and rich. Alcohol warmth in the finish with a touch of astringency.

All of the classic bourbon flavors are present, including strong hints of caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla, along with buttery toffee and a touch of fresh toasted cinnamon bread. Really pleasant with a nice amount of depth to enjoy. The first thought that pops into my head upon tasting Maker's 46 is a kitchen on a Sunday morning. A nice buttery palate presents heavy oak, caramel, cinnamon, and light fresh baked wheat bread.

A blast of spice containing buttered rum, hints of tobacco and leather, and aged oak all greet me on the finish. It seems to liven up from the palate and presents more discernable flavor right up front. That being said, while it lingers for a while, it becomes more one dimensional, consisting mainly of light hints of tobacco and leather. Not bad, however I was hoping it would last a little bit longer since it starts off very enjoyable.

For me, the answer is absolutely. It should be noted however, that individuals who love the flavor profile of Maker's Mark may be turned off by this enhanced fuller finish.
