Created by Bill Samuels, Sr. to be a bourbon that he would enjoy drinking himself, Maker’s Mark? is smooth and approachable with an easy finish - a true contrast to hot, harsh whiskies that “blow your ears off,” and a downright revolutionary idea at the time. Maker’s Mark? is made slowly in small batches, in our National Historic Landmark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. While it makes any cocktail better, a lot of folks still prefer it on its own, or over ice with a splash of water. The original handmade premium bourbon. Soft red winter wheat makes our whisky full flavored, yet remarkably easy to drink.
