News

All the news that fits, we print!

Whether you're looking for the latest news from the distillery, or the 411 on upcoming events in your area, you've come to the right place.

Taste

No changes, no compromises, no comparison.

Full-flavored, yet remarkably easy to drink, Maker’s Mark has a taste that took years to perfect. Then, we spent the next 40 years making sure that taste never changed. Get the whole story here.

Mix

Whatever you’re mixing, Maker’s makes it.

While Maker’s Mark has always been smooth enough to enjoy straight or on the rocks, it also goes wonderfully well with just about anything you care to mix with it. Check out some of our recommended recipes. And if you've got a recipe, we would love to hear about that, too.

Fun stuff (Maker’s Merriment)

Nobody likes to have fun more than we do – so we dedicated a whole page to it. Click on any of the links on the right to get started, but be forewarned: you may be here for a while.

MAKER'S 46

A complex whisky with a taste that
doesn't need to be “acquired.”

We age Maker's 46 a bit longer inside barrels containing seared French oak staves. The staves create bolder, more complex flavors — while eliminating the bitterness that usually comes with whiskies that are aged longer.
