Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky 750mL

Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (750 mL)Small-Batch Bourbon | 45% ABV (90 Proof) | 750 mL
Process & Profile
Maker’s Mark is handcrafted at the Loretto, Kentucky distillery using a mash bill featuring soft red winter wheat instead of rye, resulting in a mellow, approachable style. The sugar-rich mash includes about 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley. Double-distilled—first in a copper column still and then in a copper pot still—it is aged typically for six to seven years in new charred American white oak barrels. The bourbon is bottled at 90 proof, with consistent barrel rotation employed to ensure uniform aging across batches.
