Maker's 46 takes the standard Maker's Mark bourbon and gives it a finishing step: seared French oak staves are added to the barrel for several additional weeks of maturation, deepening the flavor beyond the original recipe. The result is a bourbon with more spice, char, and structure than standard Maker's, while still keeping the brand's signature wheated softness underneath. Expect a nose of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, moving into a rich palate of baking spice, dark fruit, and light smoke, with a longer, warmer finish than the standard bottling. A great option for Maker's fans looking for something with a bit more depth and complexity.

Region Loretto, Kentucky, USA
Distillery Maker's Mark
Style Wheated Straight Bourbon, Oak Stave Finished
ABV 47% (94 Proof)
Bottle Size 750ml
"The first bourbon in our wood-finishing series, Maker's Mark 46™ was created by Bill Samuels, Jr., to amplify the flavors he loves in Maker's Mark®. The innovative wood-stave-finishing process starts with fully matured Maker's Mark® at cask strength. We then insert 10 seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel and finish it for nine weeks in our limestone cellar. The result is Maker's Mark 46: bolder and more complex, but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged whiskies. Want the full Maker's Mark 46

Tasting Notes

Aroma:Hints of wood staves, caramel and sweetness

Taste:Very intense flavors; a big crescendo of wood blending perfectly with deep, complex and rich notes of vanilla and caramel

Finish:Smooth and subtle
