I would not like to speak too much about the taste or smell, because everyone has to try even him and should form their own opinion about this whiskey, but I can say that in this price range and the next over it lying (~ 40) no find Whiskey is stands out from this.
I am 28 years old and belong to the people working hard to do a whiskey neat or on ice to drink, but can drink the Makers Mark enjoyable! And that even with incredible 45% of alcohol!
This whiskey is a panacea for me! It is cheap, tastes good and is high-proof.
For me, a strong buy recommendation and 5 star! Thanks to MM for this great product!
