Maker's Mark Bourbon

Few bottles are as instantly recognizable as a Maker's Mark, with its squat shape and hand-dipped red wax seal. Maker's is the bourbon that made wheated whiskey famous — swapping the usual rye in the mash bill for soft red winter wheat to produce a bourbon that's mellow, rounded, and endlessly approachable. This collection brings together the Maker's Mark expressions in stock at Bourbon Central, from the higher-proof flagship to the seared-oak special releases.

For more intensity without losing that signature smoothness, Maker's Mark 101 Proof ($44.99) dials up the strength while keeping the wheated softness intact — a brilliant cocktail bourbon with extra backbone. At the top of the range, Maker's Mark No. 46 French Oaked ($79.99) finishes the bourbon with seared French oak staves for deeper vanilla, spice, and a luxurious texture — the standout sipper of the lineup.

Prefer the classics? The everyday Maker's Mark ($37.09) is the gentle, caramel-forward original that started it all, and Maker's Mark 46 ($44.99) offers the French-oaked upgrade in the familiar 750ml format — an outstanding gift bottle.
