This new expression is supposedly only available at the distillery, but at time of writing in October 2014 it is also available at #houstonsbestbar Reserve 101 and Spec's liquor in downtown Houston.  Unexpected ubiquity aside, as a confirmed “Markersmarkophile” I was very excited to try this. The nose has lots of sweet bubblegum and sawdust, and surprisingly none of the alcohol burn you might expect to find a cask strength expression. Simply put the nose is all that is good and holy about bourbon. The taste is deep, rich and dry, oaky and sweet with coffee, cinnamon and banana bread. Makers Mark on steroids.   The finish is very dry and spicy.   With water it gets sweeter and creamier, a vanilla cake with some spice.   Worth the trip to Kentucky (or apparently downtown Houston) to get some.
