Makers Mark
Makers Mark
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, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted. Woody oak, caramel, vanilla and wheat prevail in the nose. Taste is sweet and balanced with caramel, vanilla and fruity essences. Smooth and subtle finish.
Maker's Mark bourbon's mash bill is 70% corn, 16% soft red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley. The unique mash bill, which was the result of an experiment by John Samuels, Sr., is crucial to the bourbon's character.
