The story behind it

The maker

Founded by T. William 'Bill' Samuels Sr. and his wife Margie in Loretto, Kentucky in 1953, Maker's Mark revolutionized the bourbon industry by replacing rye with red winter wheat for a gentler taste. Margie Samuels famously designed the iconic bottle shape, created the hand-dipped red wax seal, and coined the name Maker's Mark.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Star Hill Farm, this expression begins as standard Maker's Mark before undergoing a unique secondary maturation. Ten seared French oak staves (Profile No. 46) are inserted into the barrel for several weeks to pull out bold, caramelized wood flavors.
