Maker's Mark® 101 Special Proof Bourbon

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. 

 

Made from our classic recipe at a higher proof, Maker’s Mark 101 delivers a rich, balanced, and remarkably smooth profile, with notes of holiday spice, fruit, and butterscotch.

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.
