Handmade. Hand-dipped. Unmistakable. Maker's Mark is the bourbon that proved you don't need to rush greatness — every bottle is rotated by hand in the warehouse, dipped in that iconic red wax, and crafted with the same care Bill Samuels Sr. put into the very first batch in 1953.Made with soft red winter wheat instead of rye, Maker's Mark delivers a distinctively smooth, approachable bourbon with rich caramel, vanilla, oak, and a hint of fruit — full-flavored without the bite. At 90 proof, it has just enough backbone to shine neat or on the rocks, while remaining perfectly balanced in cocktails.The Whisky Advocate's Distillery of the Year.
