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.
