The 2020 Limited Wood Finisher’s Release of Maker’s Mark, which marries stave profiles SE4 & PR5 together, made this duo the absolute perfect spirit for my cocktail. This smooth expression enhances the natural vanilla and caramel signature flavors of Maker’s Mark and puts them at the forefront. When she’s sad, her food tastes of salty tears and when she is happy and in love, you taste it. Tita’s most beloved recipe Quail in Rose Petal Sauce is the inspiration. With fusions of chocolate and strawberries, my love language, this drink hits different notes all combined perfectly with one sip. May we all experience love like this.
