Description

A well-renowned bourbon distillery and brand, created by Taylor William "Bill" Samuels Snr. Part of the American whiskey holdings of Suntory Global Spirits, the distillery is located in Loretto, Kentucky and the famously dripping wax-dipped bottles have been sold since 1958. Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon is a wheated bourbon, replacing rye with soft red winter wheat in its mash bill, resulting in a smoother, sweeter profile. It is aged to taste in new charred American oak barrels and bottled at 45% ABV. This 1-liter format is often associated with global travel retail.
