One of the most iconic names in bourbon, instantly recognizable by its hand-dipped red wax seal. Maker's Mark breaks from bourbon tradition by using winter wheat instead of rye as its secondary grain, giving the whiskey a notably softer, sweeter profile. Expect a nose of vanilla, caramel, and baking spice, with a smooth, mellow palate showing honey, dried fruit, and a touch of oak, finishing gently without the sharper spice notes typical of rye-forward bourbons. An easy-drinking, versatile bourbon that works equally well neat, on the rocks, or in classic cocktails.

"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, 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.
Tasting Notes
Aroma:Woody oak, caramel, vanilla and wheat prevail in the nose
Taste:Sweet and balanced with caramel, vanilla and fruity essences
