Name: Maker’s Mark® Cellar Aged Bourbon
Brand: Maker's Mark

When creating Cellar Aged, we set out to do something new without forgetting who we are or what we stand for. Creating a bourbon that’s always aged to taste, not time. A bourbon without the bite, that’s always smooth. Aging our whisky for over a decade wasn’t something we ever did. Not because we didn’t believe in it, but because we hadn’t found our way of doing it. In many ways, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged defines an older whisky, that’s distinctly Maker’s. One rooted in challenging convention, asking "what if" and building on a taste vision that’s generations in the making. By embracing both the maturation impact of our traditional warehouse and the unique maturation impact of our Limestone Cellar, we’ve created an expression that's richer and complex, without the bitterness. The 2025 release is a blend of 11-, 13- and 14-year-old Maker’s Mark, delivering a fruitier, deeper and darker bourbon.

We will be releasing Cellar Aged 2025 at Maker’s Mark Distillery the first weekend in September. These dates are September 5^th, 6^th, and 7^th. The gates to our parking lot will be opened at 6:00am local time. You will not be allowed to park and wait on the street or the shoulder of any public road around Maker’s Mark distillery.

Once parked, there is no leaving the parking lot until 8:45am. At 8:45am, a Maker’s Mark employee will get everyone from the parking lot and escort them to the Visitor’s Center. A queue will form, and employees will start checking ID’s (you must be 21 years of age or older). Once ID’s have been checked, a voucher will be given for the purchase of only 1 bottle. Once checked-in and received voucher, guests may head to our gift shop to purchase the bottle.

New York Sour

Don’t let the name fool you! The New York Sour may sound like an East Coast classic, but its roots likely trace back to Chicago. Over time, it’s picked up more than a few nicknames — Continental Sour, Claret Snap, even Southern Whisky Sour — all hinting at its ability to charm just about anyone, anywhere. With a bold bourbon base and a dramatic float of red wine, the New York Sour is as eye-catching as it is delicious, and it’s easier to make than it looks.

A glass of whiskey cocktail with ice, garnished with a lemon peel and cherry, sits on a table. A whiskey bottle, bowl of lemon slices, and a golden shaker are in the background. The setting conveys a warm, elegant mood.

Manhattan

The elevated flavor and higher proof of Maker's Mark 46 brings a new level of sophistication to this elegant classic. This simple yet flavorful cocktail is said to have first been served at the Manhattan Club. Like many stories involving whisky, its history is a bit cloudy but one thing is clear, the Manhattanite who first concocted this cocktail created a classic with true staying power.

Bourbon Sour

The Bourbon Sour is a refined and refreshing blend of sour and sweet. The first printed mention of the Bourbon Sour that anyone is aware of is in the 1862 book "The Bartender's Guide" by Jerry Thomas. This cocktail has had enduring appeal and reaches a new level of refreshing when the sour notes are mixed with Maker’s^® sweetness.
