Maker's Mark Bourbon

Maker's Mark Bourbon is a Kentucky bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, United States, with an alcohol by volume (ABV) of 45%. Created by Bill Samuels Sr., this bourbon was developed to offer a whiskey that is never bitter or sharp. Instead of the traditional rye, Maker's Mark uses soft red winter wheat in its mash bill, resulting in a distinct, full-flavored bourbon profile. Each barrel is rotated by hand to ensure consistency, and the bourbon is aged to taste rather than for a fixed number of years. Every bottle is hand-dipped in the brand's signature red wax at the Loretto distillery. The use of soft red winter wheat shapes the flavor profile, giving Maker's Mark Bourbon a rounded sweetness balanced by oak influence. The sweet oak, vanilla, bright fruit, and gentle wheat character create a smooth, creamy, pleasant, soft spice with a clean conclusion. Maker's Mark Bourbon can be enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or in classic bourbon cocktails, and it pairs well with grilled meats, barbecue, pecan pie, or dark chocolate desserts.
