Distillery Information

Maker's Mark is a small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. It is bottled at 90 U.S. proof (45% alcohol by volume) and sold in squarish bottles sealed with red wax. The distillery offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.

To personalize a Holiday 2023 label, visit makersmarkpersonalize.com.Description: Lower barrel entry proof(110.7). Bigger flavor. This limited-release bourbon showcases the influence of Maker's® unique, 110 barrel entry proof (also known as BEP).
Each and every bottle of Maker's® is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, KY., just like Bill Sr.
Maker's Mark Bourbon typically ranges from $20 to $30 for a 750ml bottle in Kentucky. Woodford Reserve Bourbon usually ranges from $30 to $40 for a 750ml bottle, while Angel's Envy Bourbon can range from $45 to $65 for a 750ml bottle.This helps give Maker's Mark® those pleasant vanilla notes. But before the firing can happen, the cooperage (or barrel-building company) must "season" the new American white oak outdoors for nine months, plus one Kentucky summer, to remove the bitter tannins in the wood that would otherwise go into the bourbon.
