E098 - Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon (Black Wax)

Did someone say dusty? You knew it would happen sooner or later, but for the first time in the history of #themashupky - we taste and review a vintage bourbon whiskey. This week, we head back in time to 1998 (and overseas) to sip and review a Maker’s Mark Black Wax “Bourbon” which was made exclusively for the Japanese market. Rumored to be aged approximately 2-3 years longer than the standard red wax Maker’s and coming in at 95 proof, this bottle has become sought after in recent years, especially those getting into dusties. But, should you be looking to add this one to your collection? As we sip this week, we reminisce about 1998 and think about how this expression compares to what Maker’s offers today. Also, we talk Buffalo Trace Distillery expansion. You will definitely want to listen this week as we FINALLY cross over into dusty bourbon territory.
