Maker's Mark is an iconic bourbon whisky brand known for its distinctive handmade qualities and deep-rooted history. Established in 1958 by Bill Samuels Sr. and his wife Margie, the brand has been built on a tradition of craft and innovation. Margie Samuels was particularly instrumental in creating the brand's unique image, designing the square-shaped bottle, the label, and the iconic red wax seal, which she first dipped by hand in her kitchen.
This bourbon stands out due to its unique production process involving the addition of seared French oak staves to the barrels, which intensifies the wood influence and adds depth to the flavor profile.
Nose:
The nose presents a bouquet of toasty French oak with sweet undertones of caramel and a variety of baking spices.
Palate:
The palate is mildly sweet, dominated by deep, rich vanilla and further enriched by baking spice. This complexity is complemented by caramel, with a touch of nuttiness, though it remains straightforward and easy to enjoy.
Finish:
It finishes velvety and subtle, pleasingly long, leaving a lingering taste of oak and tobacco, with notes of vanilla latte, cinnamon, and toasted caramel.
