Jefferson's Marian McLain is bottled at a higher 102 proof, yet this isn't immediately apparent on the nose. Instead, you'll discover notes of cinnamon, honey, and a touch of oaky char. On the palate, the tannic note persists alongside musty leather, but it's balanced by a medley of dried fruits, orange zest, milk chocolate, espresso, and even hints of banana and mango. While it may seem like a "back to basics" bourbon, this blend of various liquids is anything but ordinary. Each age statement, cask finish, and origin contributes distinct flavors, resulting in exceptional whiskey.
