The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1953 by T. William 'Bill' Samuels Sr. and his wife Margie Samuels, Maker's Mark revolutionized the bourbon industry by creating a smooth-tasting premium whisky. Margie is credited with creating the iconic name, the label design, and the famous hand-dipped red wax seal that remains a symbol of quality today.

How it is made

Handcrafted at the historic Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, Maker's Mark is distilled using soft red winter wheat rather than rye in its mash bill. Each bottle is individually hand-dipped in signature red wax, ensuring that no two bottles are exactly alike.
