Tasting Notes
The Maker’s Mark Lost Recipe Series: Edition 2 (2025 Release), featuring the Archived Stave: Mocha, opens with a bold, distinctive aromatic profile. The nose reveals roasted coffee beans, dark cocoa, and warm oak, layered with vanilla and subtle dried fruit. On the palate, it is rich and textured, delivering flavors of espresso, toasted almond, molasses, and charred oak balanced by the soft, sweet undertones of Maker’s wheated mashbill. Mid-palate complexity develops, with hints of caramelized sugar and spice, leading to a lingering finish of mocha, vanilla bean, and seasoned wood that reflects both innovation and tradition.
Food Pairings
This release pairs beautifully with dishes that complement its roasted and chocolate-driven character. Starters such as smoked meats or spiced charcuterie echo its depth of cocoa and coffee tones. For the main course, it enhances braised short ribs, grilled lamb, or venison, where its mocha and oak profile harmonizes with robust, savory flavors. Strong cheeses like blue cheese or aged Gouda highlight their layered sweetness and spice, while desserts such as flourless chocolate cake, tiramisu, or espresso panna cotta amplify their rich mocha and roasted undertones.
