Makers Mark - "The Assortment"

Maker's Mark is a renowned bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky. It's known for its distinctive red wax seal and square-shaped bottle. Maker's Mark is crafted using a unique recipe that includes red winter wheat instead of the more commonly used rye, giving it a smoother, sweeter flavor profile. The bourbon is aged to taste, not time, ensuring each batch meets the brand's high standards. Tasting notes typically include rich caramel, vanilla, and a hint of fruitiness, making it a favorite for sipping neat or in cocktails. Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon, known for its smooth and sweet flavor with notes of caramel, vanilla, and fruit, is the original. Finished with French oak staves in Maker’s Mark 46, it adds complexity with rich, spicy flavors and a longer finish. Bottled straight from the barrel in Maker’s Mark Cask Strength, it offers a robust and intense flavor with higher proof and deeper oak and spice notes. Maker’s Mark 101 is a bolder version of the original with signature smoothness. The Wood Finishing Series explores unique flavor profiles through different wood finishing techniques. Retailers and bars can create custom Maker’s Mark bourbon through the Private Selection program. Cellar Aged Bourbon undergoes additional aging in the distillery’s cellar, resulting in a richer and more complex bourbon. These offerings showcase Maker’s Mark’s versatility and craftsmanship.
