Maker's Mark

Deeper amber than the original with reddish-copper highlights; slightly fuller body from the French oak stave finishing

Caramel, toasted oak, and vanilla dominate with buttery toffee and toasted cinnamon bread. The seared French oak staves add a bolder, spicier aromatic layer compared to the original. Hints of baking spice and dried fruit

Rich caramel, vanilla, and baking spice arrive in layers. The French oak stave finishing amplifies the complexity — toasted oak, brown sugar, and a warming cinnamon quality. Fuller and bolder than the original while retaining the wheated softness. Excellent balance of sweet and spice

Medium-long finish with lingering toasted oak, caramel, and gentle spice. The French oak influence extends the finish noticeably compared to the original. Warm and satisfying

Deep amber with rich copper tones; full-bodied with thick, slow legs

Toffee, brown sugar, and dark cherries on the nose. Caramel, toasted nuts, and cinnamon. More intense and concentrated than the standard 90-proof

Full-bodied with amplified dark cherry, toasted oak, and salted caramel. Warm vanilla, dark chocolate, and soft spices. The barrel-proof delivery (typically 108-114 proof, varying by batch) intensifies the wheated bourbon character without losing balance. Minimum 7 years aging

Long and warming finish with dark chocolate, soft spices, and persistent caramel sweetness. Oak tannins and orange peel emerge at the close. Excellent value at cask strength

Rich amber with warm copper highlights; medium body, moderate legs

Sweet apples and pears lead, joined by sweet cherries and light orange citrus. Caramel and light brown sugar provide a warm, inviting base. The wheated mash bill gives a softer, rounder aromatic profile than rye bourbons

Pears, light caramel, and brown sugar with a touch of cherries. The soft red winter wheat creates a smoother, less spicy palate than rye-based bourbons. Medium body with a gentle sweetness and approachable character. Aged approximately 6 years

Increasingly dry finish with black pepper, tannins, and barrel char. The sweetness recedes into warm oak and a pleasant dryness. Medium length

Rich amber gold; medium-full body with moderate-heavy legs

Oak, caramel corn, vanilla fondant, dried dark fruit, leather, roasted nuts, citrus peels, and baking spice. Richer and more complex than the 90-proof standard

Oak, caramel corn, vanilla fondant, honey, dried dark fruit, leather, roasted nuts, baking spice with hints of citrus peels and cocoa. Unfiltered expression with a rich, creamy mouthfeel. The additional proof amplifies natural character without adding harshness

Mellow, lingering midpalate finish that combines enhanced caramel and spicy fruit. The smoothness of classic Maker's Mark persists at the higher proof

Deep amber-copper; full and viscous with heavy legs

Intensified version of the Maker's 46 profile — bold toasted oak, caramel, vanilla, and baking spice amplified by the cask strength. Dark fruit and warming cinnamon emerge

Exceptional smoothness for the proof (107-114 range). The seared French oak staves deliver amplified complexity — rich caramel, toasted oak, baking spice, and dark fruit. Warming mouthfeel with buttery toffee and brown sugar. More intense than standard 46 in every dimension

Long, warming finish with memorable toasted oak, caramel, and persistent spice. The French oak influence provides structure and depth

Deep mahogany amber; exceptionally full-bodied with very thick, slow legs

Toffee and oak dominate, with salted caramel, rustic bread, sweet tea, and cherry. The 12-13 year aging pushes far beyond typical Maker's territory into deeply woody, complex aromatics

At 119.3 proof, warm and spicy as expected. Salted caramel, rustic bread, cherry, and deep oak tannins. The blend of 12 and 13 year old bourbon creates extraordinary complexity for a wheated bourbon. Rich, concentrated, and layered

Very long finish with persistent oak, salted caramel, and warming spice. The extended aging gives tannic structure rarely seen in wheated bourbon

Deep mahogany with dark amber edges; full-bodied and viscous

Baked orchard fruit, caramel-drizzled apple pie, and intensely spiced aromatics. The blend of three age statements (including 14yo — the oldest Maker's component yet) delivers fruitier, deeper, and darker character than the 2024 release

Fruitier and darker than the 2024 — baked orchard fruit transitions from caramel apple pie into dark, heavily reduced apple butter. The 14-year-old component adds unprecedented depth for Maker's Mark. Rich, complex, and warming

Long finish with persistent baked fruit, spice, and deep oak. The evolution from bright fruit to concentrated apple butter continues through the finish

Deep amber with mahogany edges; full-bodied and rich

Tons of pleasantly dank wood and tobacco. Dark fruit, toffee, and dusty cocoa. A more experimental, darker aromatic profile than any standard Maker's expression

Rich, warm raisin and fig dominate. Spice, toffee, cinnamon, cocoa, and oak on the palate. The custom stave profile creates a distinctly different experience from standard Maker's — darker, richer, and more complex

Spicy and warm finish with lingering notes of toffee, dusty cocoa, and oak. The wood-finishing staves extend and deepen the finish significantly
