Maker’s Mark classic bourbon bottle
  • SMOOTH FINISH

Maker’s Mark® Kentucky Straight Bourbon

We go above and beyond to create a warm, inviting whisky that has a softer, sweeter style without the burn and bite. With a signature velvety mouthfeel, and balanced notes of bright cherry, delicate vanilla, caramel and a hint of soft spices, Maker's Mark can be best enjoyed served neat, on the rocks or a classic Whisky Sour.
 

At our homeplace, Star Hill Farm, the flavor and quality of our whisky is shaped by the very land it comes from.

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.

New York Sour

Don’t let the name fool you! The New York Sour may sound like an East Coast classic, but its roots likely trace back to Chicago. Over time, it’s picked up more than a few nicknames — Continental Sour, Claret Snap, even Southern Whisky Sour — all hinting at its ability to charm just about anyone, anywhere. With a bold bourbon base and a dramatic float of red wine, the New York Sour is as eye-catching as it is delicious, and it’s easier to make than it looks.
