"A very nice endeavor by Maker’s! Sweet, floral, rich and nuanced. There’s a bitter, tannic side to the pour that works in tandem with the sweetness to spectacular effect at times but at other moments takes a bit too much focus off the sweet, rich notes. The tannic profile adds some complexity; I just wish it were dialed down a notch or two — minor complaint about an altogether spectacular whiskey. Make no mistake: Maker’s Mark’s first wheat whiskey is a roaring success." - The Daily Pour (92 Points) "The palate doesn’t surprise: It’s sweet, with brown sugar, then maple syrup becoming dominant. Again it’s quite toasty — like well-grilled wheat bread, not barrel char — which pairs well with the syrup quality to create a Sunday morning breakfast character. Pancakes are not out of the question here." - Christopher Null, Drinkhacker (90 Points) "Star Hill Farm Whisky is a bold and adventurous new offering from Maker's Mark that, despite an astringent oak finish, presents an exciting and flavorful sip, marking a significant shift for the distillery." - Eric Hasman, Breaking Bourbon (Well Above Average) "In transparency I’m a fan of Maker’s Mark but this is not like any Maker’s you’ve likely had before. I came into this glass thinking “it’s just high proof Maker’s.” It is not. It is a totally new whiskey profile and that threw me. This is a welcome and stellar new offering from a storied brand." - Charles Steele, The Whiskey Wash (90 Points)
