Maker's Mark Distillery

|
Maker’s Mark is a handcrafted, small-batch bourbon whiskey distilled in Loretto, Kentucky. It is sold in unusually-shaped squarish bottles, which are sealed with red wax. The distillery has been around since the mid 1800s. The current recipe for Maker's Mark was developed in 1951, but the first batch wasn't bottled until 1958.

Maker's Mark Bourbon Whiskey
Maker's Mark is not aged for any specific period of years; rather it is bottled and marketed when expert tasters agree that it is ready. Maker's Mark is one of the few distillers to rotate the barrels from the upper to the lower levels of the aging warehouses during the aging process to benefit from the differences in temperature during the process. The aging process does abide by the US bourbon law by aging for a minimum of 2 years.
