Maker's Mark Gold Seal Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Out of stock
Maker’s Mark Gold Seal Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is a classic wheated bourbon from the Maker’s Mark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, bottled at 45% ABV. It’s crafted using a mash bill that replaces rye with soft red winter wheat, giving a smoother, richer profile with gentle spice and sweetness rather than the sharper spice of rye-led bourbons.
The distillery hand-rotates every barrel and ages its bourbon “to taste rather than time,” and each bottle is hand-dipped in the brand’s iconic red wax seal (this time a gold seal) - a design created by the founders to make the bottle instantly recognisable.
On the palate, this bourbon typically shows rich caramel and vanilla sweetness, soft orchard fruit and toasty oak, with supportive baking spice and a creamy finish. Its approachable, smooth character makes it versatile for sipping neat, over ice or in classic bourbon cocktails.
