Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 1.75 LT

Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky makes for a strong, Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey, encompassing flavors of vanilla and nut. It is one of the pioneering first-class bourbons; distilled since 1953, this "wheated" bourbon produced in small batches (less than 19 barrels at a time). Hand-dipped by turning it upside down makes each bottle distinctively coated and sealed.

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.
