The story behind it

The maker

Founded in 1953 by T. William 'Bill' Samuels Sr. and Margie Samuels in Loretto, Kentucky, Maker's Mark revolutionized bourbon by replacing rye with red winter wheat. Margie Samuels famously designed the iconic bottle shape, the hand-dipped red wax seal, and the '46' moniker representing the specific wood profile recipe.

How it is made

Crafted at the historic Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, this expression represents the brand's first new recipe in 52 years. The unique finishing process uses seared French oak staves in fully matured Maker's Mark barrels to extract bolder, caramelized wood notes.
