Elevate your bourbon experience with this unadulterated, meticulously crafted whiskey, a remarkable choice for those seeking bold flavors and time-honored craftsmanship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n      \u003ch2\u003eProcess \u0026amp; Profile\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\nCrafted at Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, this cask-strength bourbon follows the same mash bill as the classic Maker's: 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley. Unlike many bourbons that incorporate rye, the use of wheat results in a softer, smoother experience. The bourbon is non-chill filtered, preserving its full flavor and texture. Each batch varies slightly in proof, adding to its artisan appeal.\n\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill\u003c\/strong\u003e: 70% corn, 16% wheat, 14% malted barley  \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 108‚Äì114  \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"list-disc pl-6\"\u003e\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBarrel Aging\u003c\/strong\u003e: Utilizes #3 char barrels for balanced oak intensity  \u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cstrong\u003eAroma\u003c\/strong\u003e  \nThe nose is robust and inviting, with rich notes of caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak.
