Bottled at barrel proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength it’s the boldest representation of our craft. It’s a whisky that provides a deepened experience of our signature tasting notes, with amplified notes of dark cherry, toasted oak, salted caramel, plenty of warm vanilla and a harmonious finish of dark chocolate and soft spices.

Each batch of Cask Strength is aged to perfection for a minimum of 7 years, until it reaches the perfect balance of flavor, then bottled in small batches. This means that each release is unique, yet every drop is unmistakably Maker’s Mark.

MAKING MAKER’S MARK CASK STRENGTH

At any distillery, a cask strength whisky straight from the barrel is the truest reflection of who you are and what you do. Maker’s Mark Cask Strength is the closest you can get to experience Maker’s Mark straight from the barrel. It’s the truest representation of our signature distillation and ageing process.

At Maker’s Mark, each batch is distilled in small quantities (just twenty-four barrels at a time) and it’s aged to taste for a minimum of seven years, when the whisky reaches the perfect balance of flavor. It’s then blended and bottled straight from the barrel, with nothing added or taken away.

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.

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.
