Maker's Mark Announces Private Selection Coming to Ohio - November 15

Similar to last year, Maker's Mark has announced a Private Selection coming to Ohio with what they are calling their OHLQ All-Star Collection. This version of Private Selection will include five varieties that have previously been released in Ohio (more on that below). 

The varieties arriving on November 15th are:

• Queen City - Previously released 4/5/19 - Allspice and dark fruit and finishes with hints of warm cocoa
• Grandma’s Kitchen - Previously released 5/18/20 - Notes of vanilla and baking spices, while 
• Milkshake - Previously released 5/18/20 - Caramel and milk chocolate up front with a long, smooth finish
• Caramel Mocha Bomb - Previously released 5/18/20 - Hints of cocoa powder and smoke
• Pecan Pie - Previously released 12/7/20 - Notes of roasted nuts and cinnamon

The bourbons will begin arriving at select retailers around the state on November 15. No price or proofs were provided. The Private selections have previously been $69.99 + tax so I expect the price to be around that. 

My Take

I really like the timing of this. If you can score a bottle or two, this could make a great Christmas present. My main concern is having enough inventory to satisfy demand. If this is something you're interested in, I recommend calling your local stores a day or two ahead of time (and release day) to check on the inventory situation.
