Maker’s Mark is an easy to drink bourbon, a world renowned name for a reason. It’s made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, this reduces any bitterness or sharpness.
Rich in flavour, this whisky is aged to taste, rather than time. Sweet, strong with a touch of citrus - we recommend you try Maker's Mark in an Old Fashioned.
Maker’s Mark is bottled and then dipped in their signature 400-degree red wax by hand. This takes the team a considerable amount of time to do and slows production from around 200 to 400 bottles per hour to 100 to 200 bottles per hour!
Maker's Mark was created in 1953 by husband and wife duo, Bill Sr and Margie Samuels. The recipe was led by Bill who adapted it from his 170 year old family recipe. The name, iconic bottle design and red wax was created by marketeer Margie.
The Maker’s Mark distillery is located on Star Hill Farm which is around 1,000 acres and based in Loretto, Kentucky. The distillery offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
Beginning as Maker's Mark Cask Strength, Maker’s Mark 46 gains its distinct flavour from being matured for 9 weeks in barrels fitted with 10 seared, French oak staves.
