Description
Ever wondered why bourbon connoisseurs worldwide swear by that distinctive red wax seal?
Maker’s Mark Bourbon revolutionized American whiskey when Bill Samuels Sr. made the bold decision to replace traditional rye with red winter wheat in his mash bill during the 1950s. This Kentucky straight bourbon delivers the smoothest, most approachable flavor profile in its category, making it equally magnificent neat or in premium cocktails. Unlike harsher alternatives such as blended Scotch whiskies or innovative Irish expressions, this bourbon focuses on pure, unadulterated smoothness.
