Process & Profile
Maker's Mark stands out for its dedication to craftsmanship. This bourbon is skillfully produced at the Star Hill Farm distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, using a unique mash bill of 70% corn, 16% soft red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley. The choice to use wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain ensures a softer, smoother flavor profile. Aged "to taste" rather than by time, Maker's Mark is matured in charred American white oak barrels for approximately 6 to 7 years. To maintain consistency, the barrels are hand-rotated during aging. Every bottle is dipped in the brand's signature hand-sealed red wax, making it a hallmark of quality and care.Tasting Notes
