This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker’s® is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.
Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker’s Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.
Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and caramel
Taste: Robust, warm texture with notes of caramel, vanilla and spice
Finish: Long finish on front of tongue, harmonious with no harsh bitterness
70% corn / 25% rye / 5% malted barley
Barrel #245
The exclusive bourbon inside this bottle has been pulled from a single barrel, and hand-selected for its impeccable quality and flavour profile. The result is a masterpiece of uniquely dark and complex flavours, intermingled with surprisingly bright notes and the exuberant spice of rye.
Shane’s Notes:
Nose: Caramel apple, creme brulee, burnt orange, and banana pudding
Palate: Caramel driven off the start with a touch of vanilla bean. Buttery, creamy texture that’s followed up by a smash of rye spice and cinnamon. Dark chocolate, berries, and waves of oak follow.
Finish: Oak, tobacco, and orange zest linger on the palate.
A Two Brewers Classic, juxtaposing humble grains and noble oak, worthy of considered contemplation. A harmonious tandem, enrobed in delicious complexities.
Simple in nature, if not in construction, this bottling showcases all that barley and oak have to offer, coaxed out day by day and year by year. Indulgent and inviting, an expression charged with crème caramel and custard, made more interesting by the intricacies that surround.
Having left Cooley Distillery after its takeover by Jim Beam, Jack and Stephen Teeling have founded the first distillery in Dublin after 125 years in 2015. They also release excellent whiskeys from the stock they kept from Cooley. The single grain has totally matured in ex Californian Cabernet wine casks. Smooth and fruity with a demerara character, this single grain has a satin-like texture and displays lovely notes of peaches and pears. It has been awarded the Best single Grain by Whisky Magazine in 2014.
