Seen here is Maker’s Mark 101 which is named after the proof and is the cask strength Makers brought down to proof. She is recognized as one of the female pioneers leading bourbon history. They are the only distillery recognized as a historical landmark in the USA.Īll the branding, logo, hand dipped bottle idea, bottle design and labels were created by Margie Samuels, Bill Samuels wife.

They go low and slow with proof and time. Their bourbon is between 5-7 years old, they age to taste not to time. They season the wood for their barrels for a minimum of 9 months and 1 Kentucky summer.Īll of Maker’s Mark barrels come from Independent Stave Company, which has been around for more than 100 years making whiskey and wine barrels. Maker’s Mark still hand rotates all their barrels in the barrelhouse. The mashbill for different expressions doesn’t change. Maker’s Mark has a mashbill of 70% corn, 14% malted barley and 16% red winter wheat, for the soft and sweet palette notes. Straight Bourbon must be aged for a minimum of two years. (Hint: this is why so many other spirits are aged in bourbon barrels!)

It must be aged in new charred oak barrels. It must be made with a minimum of 51% corn in the mashbill.
