Maker’s Mark Cask Strength bourbon bottle
MAKER'S MARK® BOURBON STRAIGHT FROM THE BARREL

Maker's Mark®
Bourbon Cask
Strength

Bottled at barrel proof, Maker's Mark Cask Strength ranges from 108 to 114 proof depending on the barrels. Surprisingly smooth, this bourbon retains the signature, front-of-the-palate flavors of Maker's Mark while amping up the vanilla and rich oak notes.

Rich & Dark

Maple Old Fashioned

Maple syrup gives the ultimate classic cocktail a rich sweetness and depth for those looking to mix things up. This drink is a direct descendant of the Old Fashioned, which early on was considered a morning drink, originally referred to as a “whisky cocktail".

Cask Strength Boulevardier

Putting our stamp on a riff of another classic, the Negroni, we replace gin with Maker's Mark Cask Strength, delivering intriguing depth and warmth. Said to have been born at the legendary Harry’s New York Bar in Paris in the 1920s, the cocktail is named after Erskine Gwynne's French version of The New Yorker magazine called Le Boulevardier. And of course, Cask Strength opens a new chapter for this classic.

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.
