The Unrivaled Sour

The Unrivaled Sour is a refined, fruit-kissed take on the whisky sour - crafted with Maker’s Mark® bourbon, fresh lemon, and blackberry for a finish that’s both bright and commanding. Like the Unrivaled women's basketball league, it honors what came before while pushing the standard forward - built on courage, craft, and the belief that the best is still being made. It’s crisp, balanced, and unmistakably confident, because some moments deserve more than a classic. They deserve a signature.

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.

New York Sour

Don’t let the name fool you! The New York Sour may sound like an East Coast classic, but its roots likely trace back to Chicago. Over time, it’s picked up more than a few nicknames — Continental Sour, Claret Snap, even Southern Whisky Sour — all hinting at its ability to charm just about anyone, anywhere. With a bold bourbon base and a dramatic float of red wine, the New York Sour is as eye-catching as it is delicious, and it’s easier to make than it looks.

A glass of whiskey cocktail with ice, garnished with a lemon peel and cherry, sits on a table. A whiskey bottle, bowl of lemon slices, and a golden shaker are in the background. The setting conveys a warm, elegant mood.

Maker’s Mark® Kentucky Straight Bourbon

This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. 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. would have wanted.
