Distillery Bottling

This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that's easy to drink. To ensure consistency, every barrel is rotated by hand and the bourbon is aged to taste, not for time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in their signature red wax at the distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.

Tasting Notes

Colour

Deep amber with warm coppery notes and a honeyed, sunlit glow.

Nose

Creamy vanilla and caramel lead the aroma, eased by soft toffee and warm oak. Wheat-driven sweetness gives a velvety honeyed backdrop, with caramel corn notes and a touch of spice that hints at smooth, approachable bourbon.

Palate

Silky and creamy, with soft wheat leading a smooth sweetness. Vanilla, caramel and honey mingle with light orchard fruit, while toasted oak provides subtle backbone. A warm, mouth-coating finish delivers gentle spice and a long, easy-drinking sweetness.

Finish

Silky and long, it coats the palate with creamy vanilla and caramel, lifted by soft oak and a whisper of spice, then eases into a warm, lingering sweetness that stays with you.

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.
