Producer Notes: 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.

Production notes: 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. The iron-free water from our limestone-filtered spring-fed lake is rich in calcium and magnesium. This helps the yeast flourish.

Sowohl su¨ßliche Maisnoten als auch gesalzene Erdnu¨sse und fast tropische Trockenfru¨chte geben einen weichen Gesamteindruck in der Nase. Tabakartiges Holz bietet einen kräftigeren Antrunk, dann erneut weicher, mit Schoko-Traube-Nuss im Abgang.

Non Vintage Tasted: Oct 2017

Helle Duftnoten mit feiner Exotik, Vanille und Anklängen von Kaffee. Am Gaumen kommen Kräuter, Karamell und Muskatblüte dazu. Ein mildes Mundgefühl gipfelt in einem stoffigen Abgang und einem langen Nachklang.

Non Vintage Tasted: Mar 2016

The original Maker’s Mark, tried and true, and the same since the 1950s. The nose is consistent with a flare on the floral, toffee and caramel, roasted almonds, and loads of vanilla. Just when you think you’ve tasted this a million times, it offers candied fruit and pie crust with the final touches of praline and a hint of pecan shell.

Non Vintage Tasted: Jan 2007

The base aroma is buttered corn-on-the-cob with aeration bringing additional scents of vanilla and cinnamon. The palate entry showcases sweet breakfast cereal grain; at midpalate the corn dominates so thoroughly that you know that this could only be one of the best straight bourbons from Kentucky. Ends spirity and heated. One of America's benchmark spirits.
