Name: Maker’s Mark® Cellar Aged Bourbon
Brand: Maker's Mark

When creating Cellar Aged, we set out to do something new without forgetting who we are or what we stand for. Creating a bourbon that’s always aged to taste, not time. A bourbon without the bite, that’s always smooth.

Aging our whisky for over a decade wasn’t something we ever did. Not because we didn’t believe in it, but because we hadn’t found our way of doing it. In many ways, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged defines an older whisky, that’s distinctly Maker’s. One rooted in challenging convention, asking "what if" and building on a taste vision that’s generations in the making.

By embracing both the maturation impact of our traditional warehouse and the unique maturation impact of our Limestone Cellar, we’ve created an expression that's richer and complex, without the bitterness. The 2025 release is a blend of 11-, 13- and 14-year-old Maker’s Mark, delivering a fruitier, deeper and darker bourbon.

Delve into Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged

Our long-awaited and first ever, older expression. The 2025 Cellar Aged release blends 11-, 13- and 14-year-old bourbons bottled at cask strength, but it’s about much more than the age statement on the bottle. It's about what's inside.

It starts off as every bottle of Maker's Mark does in our traditional warehouse before spending years in our LEED-certified, temperature controlled limestone cellar for a further aging. This is where Cellar Aged develops a deeper, richer, and even more complex flavor.

Manhattan

Elevate the drier, spicier profile of the cocktail with the toasty, complex, and vanilla and caramel sweetness of Maker’s 46. This simple yet flavorful cocktail is said to have first been served at the Manhattan Club. Like many stories involving whisky, its history is a bit cloudy, but one thing is clear: the Manhattanite who first concocted this cocktail created a classic with true staying power.

Maker’s Sour

The Maker’s Sour is a refined and refreshing blend of sour and sweet. Our Maker’s Sour is inspired by the Whisky Sour, a refreshingly citrus-forward cocktail; 1862’s "The Bartender's Guide" by Jerry Thomas is recognized as one of the first mentions of this classic. This cocktail has had enduring appeal and reaches a new level of refreshing when the sour notes are mixed with Maker’s® sweetness.

Cask Smash

The Maker's Mark Cask Smash brings flavor straight from the garden into your glass. We prefer to use fresh Opal Basil, but feel free to experiment with other intense herbs like rosemary, mint, or tarragon.
