Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky 1.75LKentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 1.75 L

Process & Profile

Maker’s Mark Bourbon is a Kentucky straight bourbon crafted in small batches at the historic Star Hill Farm Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. Using a mash bill of corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley—without rye—it produces a softer, sweeter profile. The whisky is distilled twice in copper pot stills and aged to taste, typically between six and seven years, in new American oak barrels with a #3 char, rotated throughout the warehouse for consistency. Every bottle is hand-dipped in Maker’s Mark’s signature red wax seal.
