Tasted this as Day 20 of The Saratoga Whiskey Club Advent Calendar 2020. Every day is a new adventure with a blind tasting, where we each try to guess the country of origin, the type and age of the whisk(e)y, the ABV, and the distillery, followed by a reveal at 9PM. As with all Maker's Mark, this is a wheated bourbon. This bottle is a store pick from Bayway Liquors in Eilzabeth, NJ. Photo courtesy of Charles Grabitzky.
