Maker’s Mark 2019 Wood Finishing Series (RC6) Scoresheet & Review
These days it’s easy to take for granted the number of options when it comes to whiskey. More specifically, the sheer volume of choices one has when considering traditional whiskey and finished whiskey has become downright overwhelming. Maker’s Mark is just one example of this.
