THE WHISKY DROP BY
Maker's Mark®
The good stuff. The new stuff. The classic stuff. The hard-to-find stuff. Delivered right to your doorstep every season. It’s such a delightfully simple concept. Maybe it’s no coincidence that The Whisky Drop by Maker’s Mark® gets right back to why we started making bourbon in the first place: to share it with friends who enjoy savoring it as much as we do. Now you can savor it without even stepping off the front porch.
WHAT YOU GET
WHAT YOU GET ON
this season’s box and future ones
2024 Wood Finishing Series & Ambassador Release #1
This Drop features two stellar pickups. The Heart Release marks the anticipated return of our Wood Finishing Series. Envisioned by those who know Maker’s® best – our Distillery Team – it’s fruit forward with caramel, maple and chocolate notes. With a mouthfeel and finish sure to delight. Ambassador Release #1 delivers notes of browned butter, red apple, toasted caramel, whipped cream and Madagascar vanilla with a smooth, unforgettable finish. It was a resounding favorite when matched against other Private Selection releases sampled by our Ambassadors.
Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 & Maker’s Mark Cask Strength
For all the history and custom at Star Hill Farm, tradition-breaking moments happen here on the regular, which are personified in the October Drop. More exciting information coming soon.
Whisky Drop Selection 03 & Whisky Drop Selection 04
After a successful first year, we brought a group of Whisky Drop members back to the distillery to have a hand in crafting two original Private Selection expressions. The theme was spring, and the results nailed the mark – landing the taste inspiration of spring berry bread pudding and strawberry shortcake. Whether you’re a sweet tooth or just a bourbon lover, this’ll be a good one.
Maker’s Mark® 101 & Maker’s Mark® 2023 Community Batch
For many, it’s the season of giving. For us, it’s also the season of sharing. This Drop, we’re including our seasonal release of Maker’s Mark 101 – something we’ve been pouring with others for a couple generations now. We’re also including our Whisky Drop exclusive 2023 CommUNITY Batch release – a special blend selected by the mentors of The LEE Initiative’s Women Culinary and Spirits program, proceeds of this bottle sale will be donated back to the program. The holidays are a time for both enjoying and giving back.
Maker’s Mark® Cellar Aged & Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength
Since we created our limestone cellar, we quietly began exploring the limits of what our bourbon could be. Soon began the secret creation of our first blend of 11- to 12-year-old bourbon. Well, the secret is out now and coming to the next Drop alongside Cask Strength – the same liquid Cellar Aged began as before its additional aging in our always-cool cellar. It’s good to get that off our chest and to finally get this special bourbon into your glass.
Whisky Drop Selection 01: Caramel Popcorn & Whisky Drop Selection 02: Chess Pie
This past fall, we gave several Whisky Drop members the opportunity to craft two original Private Selection bourbons, along with a memorable trip to Star Hill Farm. Now, you can see (and taste) how your fellow members did in creating flavorful expressions Caramel Popcorn and Chess Pie.
