Maker's Mark Private Selection SDBB Coronado Bay Bridge

Coronado Bay Bridge is a Maker's Mark Private Selection built by the San Diego Barrel Boys — cask-strength wheated Maker's finished on ten custom oak staves the club chose, bottled at 111.7 proof for Chips Liquor. Bill Samuels Sr. founded Maker's Mark in 1953 at Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, on a wheated mashbill built to avoid bitterness; Private Selection is the distillery's stave program — a fully matured barrel of cask-strength Maker's is emptied, ten staves are chosen from five profiles (Baked American Pure, Seared French Cuvée, Maker's 46, Roasted French Mocha, Toasted French Spice), the barrel is refilled and finished nine weeks in the limestone cellar, and the result is bottled uncut with the stave recipe on the label. The Barrel Boys chose the recipe for this barrel and named it for the bridge; check the label for the ten-stave combination and the profile it produces — mocha staves lean chocolate and coffee, spice staves lean cinnamon and dried fruit, Cuvée leans caramel. Expect the Maker's wheated softness — caramel, vanilla, and baked bread — amplified by the staves into something richer and darker than the red wax, at a proof that carries it. Honest note: Private Selection barrels are the best thing Maker's makes and every one is different by design; this one exists only here. Neat, a drop of water. Maker's, Coronado Bay Bridge.
