Maker's Mark
Maker’s Mark was created in 1953 when Bill Samuels Sr. and Margie Samuels bought the Star Hill Farm site in Loretto, Kentucky, with the aim of producing a softer, more approachable style of bourbon. The first bottles were released in 1958, and the brand quickly stood apart for its wheated recipe, replacing rye with red winter wheat, as well as its distinctive hand-dipped red wax seal.
