Maker’s Mark® Bourbon is distinct not only for its unique flavour, but its iconic bottle that is hand-dipped and sealed in red wax. Maker’s Mark bourbon whisky is smoother and less bitter than other bourbons because we use winter wheat in the mash instead of the traditional distiller’s rye. From the beginning, Maker’s Mark set high standards for hand craftsmanship and quality that remain the same today, over 50 years later.
