MAKER'S WITH MORE TO LOVE

Maker's Mark®101 
High Proof 
Bourbon

It’s everything you love about Maker’s Mark with a whole lot more to love. Our founder himself, Bill Samuels, Sr., was the first fan of this high proof bourbon. Bill liked to tuck a little 101 aside for friends and special occasions.

Gold Rush

This Whisky Sour riff replaces simple syrup with honey syrup, also known as “liquid honey”, to add a new richness and depth to the original. Honey syrup adds sweet depth to bright, fresh citrus and the bold, bourbon flavors of Maker’s Mark. The Gold Rush cocktail takes no time to make, but you won’t want to rush through sipping this honeyed riff on the Whisky Sour.

Bourbon Bloody Mary

Layered with bold flavors, this daytime sipper brings heat, umami, tangy tomato and the sweet, full flavor of Maker's Mark.  While there are countless wild stories – ranging from Queens to movie stars – about where the name "Bloody Mary" comes from, we favor bourbon over vodka in ours. Spicy and savory, this satisfying riff on the Bloody Mary features a feast of ingredients that gives this cocktail well-rounded flavor with a bold Maker's boost.

Bourbon Renewal

Bourbon and crème de cassis play together to bring a wonderfully jammy element to the classic whisky sour. This remix on a classic Whisky Sour uses Crème de Cassis to make it sweet and special. “Cassis,” French for blackcurrant, is a liqueur derived from these berries by macerating them in brandy or a neutral grain spirit. This specialty of the Burgundy region has been produced there since 1841.
