Founded by T. William 'Bill' Samuels Sr. and Margie Samuels in 1953, Maker's Mark revolutionized the bourbon industry by replacing rye with red winter wheat. Margie Samuels famously designed the iconic bottle shape, the hand-dipped red wax seal, and the 'SIV' mark to signify the family's heritage.
Handcrafted at the Star Hill Farm distillery and rickhouse in Loretto, Kentucky, this bourbon utilizes limestone-filtered water and a signature wheated mash bill. It is aged to taste and bottled at 101 proof, a strength previously reserved exclusively for distillery visitors.
