A NEW WAY TO TRY
Maker's®
Maker's Mark® Private Selection is a first-of-its-kind barrel program. It allows our retail or restaurant partners to purchase a barrel and explore their own taste visions of Maker's Mark® – much in the way our past-and-present Maker's® distillers defined theirs. Find your favorite by trying unique expressions of Maker's Mark® Private Selection at your favorite establishments.

WHAT IS
Maker's Mark® Private Selection?
-
Maker's Mark® Private Selection offers a new customized take on the Maker's Mark 46® process and begins with cask-strength Maker's Mark® as the base.
-
Each barrel is specially fitted with 10 wood-finishing staves in our limestone cellar and aged for an additional 9 weeks.
-
Where Private Selection separates itself from Maker's Mark 46® is barrel customization using five different stave types. This results in over 1,001 different possible combinations.
-
As single-barrel bourbons, all expressions of Maker's Mark Private Selection® are bottled at cask strength – which ranges from 107-114 proof.
