Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon stands out in the bourbon world for its unique production process and distinctive taste profile. Crafted in batches of less than 1,000 gallons and aged in a square-shaped container inspired by cognac bottles, each bottle is hand-dipped in red wax, making no two dippings alike.
The bourbon is known for its wheated mash bill, consisting of 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley, which contributes to its smooth, sweet palate.The aroma of Maker's Mark is immediately captivating, with a blast of sweetness characterized by vanilla, caramel, brown sugar, and even a bit of strawberry. Despite a noticeable ethanol smell right out of the bottle, this dissipates over time to reveal a sweet core.
The palate is less sweet than the nose might suggest but remains pleasant and smooth, featuring notes of toffee, vanilla, and oak, with hints of toasted nut and cinnamon. The finish, while initially seeming almost nonexistent, surprises with a rebound, offering a balance that's hard to fault.
Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon is celebrated for its smooth, sweet profile and its unique handcrafted presentation. Its consistent quality and distinctive flavors make it a staple for many, whether enjoyed neat, on the rocks, or as part of a cocktail.

Marie Barron
Damn pleased to go for this bourbon! Loved the notes of spiced honey and toasty oak.
Keeley Hanson
Why did the bourbon go to the party? Because it wanted to have a barrel of fun! The delightful blend of spiced honey, mixed peels, malmsey, and hazelnut created a satisfactory harmony on the palate. The complex flavors of rye, spice, barley malt, and nut oil took advantage of the toasty oak backbone, ending with a taste of butterscotch and vanilla.
