As you continue to drink you'll find some fruity flavors of berries and apple skins as well as a touch of fresh green herbs. At 109 plus proof there's a bit of a bite on the tongue with a white pepper taste, but it's not difficult to drink. The body is of moderate weight and there's an underlying char smoke here as well. Bittersweet finish. All in all, a bourbon with a nice depth for a solid price.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Stephanie Moreno, Distiller (90 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis is quintessential Maker's Mark, and it's delicious.\"\u003c\/em\u003e - Bottle Raiders (93 Points)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Makers Mark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46336152305879,"sku":"MAKERS-MARK-KEEPERS-RELEASE","price":295.0,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-makers-mark-keepers-release-2025.jpg?v=1747293768","url":"https:\/\/thedrinksociety.sg\/products\/makers-mark-wood-finishing-series-the-keepers-release-2025-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","provider":"The Drink Society","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
