Rich, buttery nose with hints of raisins and honey; flavors include vanilla, honey, oranges, and a well balanced backdrop of leather and s***e.

I notice the rich and buttery but the other flavors i find harder to distinguish. I think i might be enjoying it more than Dalmore. First bourbon ive ever had so i have nothing to compare it too.

Makers is one of the most decent one's you will find imo

Your pallate will be able to discern more when you taste more. Maybe you should try to derive as many nuances as you can, then perhaps check out some reliable review sites to see if you were close. How are you drinking it btw?

My local liquor store has a deal on two 1.75L bottles for under $70.

I need to go pick some up before it's too late.
