Maker’s Mark® 46 French Oaked Bourbon

Maker’s Mark 46 is the recipe of Bill Samuels Jr., son of founders Bill and Margie, and the first new major expression since classic Maker's was released in 1958. Maker’s 46® is aged longer with ten special seared French oak staves, imparting depth and complexity. The result is a bold, rich expression, with exceptional depth and a long, enduring finish.
