Old Fashioned

Sweet and strong with touches of citrus, the Old Fashioned never really gets old, especially when it's made with Maker's Mark. During its dawn, the Old Fashioned was considered a morning drink and was originally referred to as the "whisky cocktail." The renaming is said to have occurred at the Pendennis Club in Louisville, where the Old Fashioned remains that city's official cocktail.

Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon

Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength it’s the boldest representation of our craft. It’s a whisky that provides a deepened experience of our signature tasting notes,​ with amplified notes of dark cherry, toasted oak, salted caramel, plenty of warm vanilla and a harmonious finish of dark chocolate and soft spices.

 

Each batch of Cask Strength is aged to perfection for a minimum of 7 years, until it reaches the perfect balance of flavor, then bottled in small batches. This means that each release is unique, yet every drop is unmistakably Maker’s Mark.
