Maker's Mark Bourbon

Maker's Mark50 ml45% ABV

The legendary wheated bourbon hand-dipped in red wax

A classic wheated bourbon that stands out for its remarkably smooth and approachable character. It replaces the traditional rye grain in the mash bill with red winter wheat, resulting in a gentle, sweet profile with a rich, buttery mouthfeel.
