Maker's Mark 46 Bourbon 750ml (94 Proof)

Maker's 46 redefines bourbon with a unique experience crafted by Bill Samuels, Jr., the legacy of Maker's Mark founders. Introduced in 2010, it stands as the first major expression since classic Maker's in 1953. This exceptional bourbon undergoes a distinctive finishing process, aging longer with seared French oak staves. Ten of these staves are placed into cask strength Maker's Mark barrels, allowing the whisky to mature in optimal conditions. The result is a bourbon with layered notes, balanced complexity, and a longer finish, featuring caramel, vanilla, and baking spice. Maker's 46 is a testament to Bill Samuels, Jr.'s taste vision, pushing bourbon craftsmanship boundaries. The wood-finishing series, initiated by Maker's 46, led to expressions like Maker's Mark Private Selection. With a commitment to experimentation and honoring the founders' legacy, Maker's 46 invites enthusiasts to savor a bourbon that reimagines tradition while reflecting the enduring dedication of Bill and Margie to exceptional spirits.
