Sol’s Golden Hour Sour
Rich & Bright

Sol’s Golden Hour Sour

There’s a kind of quiet light right before sunset — everything softens and glows. That’s this drink. One of our favorite collaborators, Solmaz Saberi, created a cocktail — the Golden Hour Sour — that mirrors her designed meal’s palette and depth. Clarified citrus, saffron-honey syrup, and Maker’s Mark create something silky, floral, and unexpectedly bright. It’s a full-sensory pairing. A little unreasonable. And completely unforgettable.

Maker's Mark® Kentucky Straight Bourbon

We go above and beyond to create a warm, inviting whisky that has a softer, sweeter style without the burn and bite. With a signature velvety mouthfeel, and balanced notes of bright cherry, delicate vanilla, caramel and a hint of soft spices, Maker's Mark can be best enjoyed served neat, on the rocks or a classic Whisky Sour.
 

At our homeplace, Star Hill Farm, the flavor and quality of our whisky is shaped by the very land it comes from.
