Maker's Mark is regarded by many as being the first Kentucky Straight Bourbon to market itself as a 'premium' brand. It is also noted for its high corn content and being blended in batches of 150 casks which fill around 3,000 cases. Rich and smooth, this is said to be the first Kentucky Straight Bourbon marketed as a premium brand.

Serve
Rich in flavour, this whisky is aged to taste, rather than time. Sweet, strong with a touch of citrus - we recommend you try Maker's Mark in an Old Fashioned.
Process
Maker’s Mark is bottled and then dipped in their signature 400-degree red wax by hand. This takes the team a considerable amount of time to do and slows production from around 200 to 400 bottles per hour to 100 to 200 bottles per hour!
People
Maker's Mark was created in 1953 by husband and wife duo, Bill Sr and Margie Samuels. The recipe was led by Bill who adapted it from his 170 year old family recipe. The name, iconic bottle design and red wax was created by marketeer Margie.
Place
The Maker’s Mark distillery is located on Star Hill Farm which is around 1,000 acres and based in Loretto, Kentucky. The distillery offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
