Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky
27.00$
Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s easy to drink!
Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon is highly distinct from the majority of other bourbons on the market which are made from a mash of malted barley, rye, and corn. Wheat serves as the replacement for rye in the recipe. To ensure consistency, every barrel is rotated by hand and the bourbon is aged to taste, not time. This ‘wheated’ bourbon, is crafted from red winter wheat, and bottled at 90 proof.

Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky
Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky is a wheated Kentucky straight bourbon renowned for its smooth, approachable profile and iconic red wax-dipped bottle top. Produced at the historic Loretto distillery since 1953 by Bill Samuels Sr., it’s now part of Beam Suntory and aged to taste in hand-rotated barrels for consistency. Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky.

Product Overview
The mash bill features 70% corn, 16% soft red winter wheat (replacing rye for softness), and 14% malted barley, distilled to 130 proof using copper columns and house yeast. Bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) after 6-7 years in lightly charred, air-dried oak, it retails around $25-35 for 750ml, with unique production like roller milling to prevent scorching.

This distinctive wax seal and square bottle, designed by Margie Samuels, make it instantly recognizable on shelves.
Tasting Notes
The nose offers sweet oak, vanilla, bright fruits like apples and pears, caramel, and light wheat. Palate brings balanced caramel, brown sugar, cherries, cinnamon, nuttiness, and soft spice, with a smooth, creamy finish of oak tannins and pepper. Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky.
Why It Stands Out
As a top-selling wheated bourbon, its wheat delivers mellow sweetness without rye’s bite, ideal for beginners or neat sipping/cocktails. Barrel rotation ensures flavor uniformity, and it’s a trailblazer for approachable, full-flavored bourbon beyond traditional recipes.
