The pioneer of smooth wheated Kentucky bourbon

A historic Kentucky bourbon defined by its soft, approachable character and signature red wax seal. Rather than using rye as the flavoring grain, it is brewed with red winter wheat to deliver a exceptionally smooth, sweet palate.

The story behind it

The maker

Founded by T. William 'Bill' Samuels Sr. and his wife Margie in 1953, Maker's Mark revolutionized the whiskey world by creating a premium, easy-drinking bourbon. Margie Samuels is credited with inventing the brand name, designing the label, and conceiving the famous dripping red wax bottle seal.

How it is made

Handcrafted at the Star Hill Farm distillery & rickhouse in Loretto, Kentucky, this bourbon utilizes limestone-filtered water and a unique heirloom yeast strain. Every single bottle is still hand-dipped in its iconic signature red wax at the distillery.
