Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2026 The Stewards Release Bourbon
Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Cask Strength (varies by batch, typically around 109–110 proof) | 750 mL | Limited Wood Finishing Series (2026)
Process & Profile
Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2026 The Stewards Release is a limited bourbon that celebrates the teams at Star Hill Farm who oversee the process from start to finish—quality, bottling, engineering, security, processing, and shipping. This release uses Maker’s Mark’s Wood Finishing Series approach: the bourbon is finished with a specific stave profile of 10 virgin toasted American oak staves to amplify richer, more dessert-leaning flavors already present in the classic Maker’s Mark profile.
This is bottled at cask strength, and the exact proof can vary by market or batch, so it’s best to match the proof listed on the bottle you’re selling.
Tasting Notes
Aroma: Bright cherry pie, vanilla beans
Taste: Honey, toasted marshmallow, candied ginger
Finish: Vibrant and forward with stone fruit and salted caramel
What Makes It Special
2026 limited Wood Finishing Series release honoring the Star Hill Farm “Stewards” team
Finished with 10 virgin toasted American oak staves for layered sweetness and toasted depth
Cask strength bottling for fuller texture and a longer finish
Dessert-leaning flavor lane that’s easy to enjoy neat or with a few drops of water
Strong gifting bottle and a must-have for fans collecting the current Wood Finishing Series releases
How to Enjoy
Sip it neat to get the full cherry-to-honey-to-salted-caramel progression. Add a few drops of water to open more vanilla and fruit and soften the heat. A single large cube brings a slower evolution and pulls forward more toasted sweetness over time.
