Our distillery is open 7 days a week: Monday-Saturday, 9.30a.m-5p.m; Sunday 10a.m-5p.m. Please note that we do not give tours on Easter Sunday, the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year’s Eve, or New Year’s Day.

We are located at 3350 Burkes Spring Rd, Loretto, KY 40037. There are a few ways to find us - if you prefer a more adventurous drive, you will want to take the route that takes you down Maker's Mark Road (we do not recommend this route if you are driving a large vehicle). If you prefer a route that has two separate lanes the entire drive, make sure that Maker's Mark Road is NOT a part of your GPS's route (we recommend coming in on Bill Samuel's Jr. Rd. right off of Highway 52). Unfortunately, Uber and Lyft are not reliable transportation options for our area. While they may take you out to Loretto, they will not bring you back to your home or hotel. Park in the Visitor Parking Lot (follow signs for "Tours"), check in at the Visitor's Center, and let the fun begin!

A special whisky created to mark life’s meaningful moments, Maker’s Mark 101 was inspired by the Samuels family tradition of sharing something exceptional with friends and family on special occasions. Crafted to be more than just a whisky, it’s a gift with purpose.

DELVE INTO MAKER’S MARK 101

Our Founder Bill Samuels loved to experiment and would occasionally bottle bourbon at a higher proof from a handful of our barrels. 101 was his favorite, and because it particularly enjoyed the fantastic balance of this higher proof, he felt it was worth sharing. So, on special occasions, his closest friends would be treated to this unique expression of Maker’s Mark.

At a higher 101 proof, Maker’s Mark 101 isn’t for just any moment — it’s a whisky with a little more presence. With rich notes of fruit, baking spices, and caramel, 101 is crafted to stand out whether sipped neat or in cocktails.
