Maker's Mark 46

The first bourbon in our wood-finishing series, Maker's Mark 46? was created by Bill Samuels, Jr., to amplify the flavors he loves in Maker's Mark?. The innovative wood-stave-finishing process starts with fully matured Maker's Mark? at cask strength. We then insert 10 seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel and finish it for nine weeks in our limestone cellar. The result is Maker's Mark 46: bolder and more complex, but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged whiskies.
