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!

There's a good bit of walking, so wear comfortable shoes.Yes, you can take pictures. We think this will be a memory you'll want to keep. (We just ask you do not film the entire tour.)

DELVE INTO MAKER’S MARK PRIVATE SELECTION

Maker's Mark Private Selection offers a new customized take on the Maker’s Mark 46 process and begins with cask-strength Maker's Mark as the base.

Each barrel is specially fitted with ten wood-finishing staves in our limestone cellar and aged for an additional nine weeks.

Where Private Selection separates itself from Maker’s Mark 46 is barrel customization using five different stave types. This results in over 1,001 different possible combinations.

As single-barrel bourbons, all expressions of Maker's Mark Private Selection® are bottled at cask strength – which ranges from 107-114 proof.
