Maker’s Mark 1L
Brand: Maker’s Mark | Category: Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky | ABV: 45% | Origin: Kentucky, USA | Vol: 1000ml

Intro/Heritage:
Hand-dipped in red wax and handcrafted in Loretto, Kentucky, Maker’s Mark is more than a bourbon, it’s a family legacy. Made in small batches with a signature soft red winter wheat mash bill, this iconic whisky delivers smoothness with purpose. In the generous 1-liter bottle, it’s hospitality in liquid form, made for pouring and sharing.

Tasting Profile:
Nose: Warm and inviting. Vanilla bean, caramel, and honeyed oak rise first, followed by soft spice and a touch of orange peel, like dessert in a Kentucky kitchen.
Palate: Rich and rounded. Butterscotch, toasted nuts, and sweet baking spice unfold over a silky wheat-driven base. Smooth, sweet, and satisfying from front to back.
Finish: Long and mellow. Notes of oak, soft cinnamon, and toffee linger with just enough warmth to keep the glass in hand.

Production Details:
Made using a unique mash bill that replaces rye with red winter wheat for a softer, sweeter profile. Aged to taste, not time and bottled at 45% ABV. Each bottle is still hand-dipped in wax, a symbol of the care and craftsmanship behind every batch.

Perfect For:
Evenings with friends, slow sips over good conversation, or cocktails that deserve better than just “well.” This 1L bottle is built for bourbon lovers who pour generously.

Expert Notes:
Maker’s Mark is celebrated for its approachability without sacrificing character. Bartenders love its versatility in classics like the Old Fashioned and Boulevardier, while purists respect its smooth wheat influence and honest flavor.

Customer Reviews:
🗣️ "Smooth enough for neat pours, rich enough to shine in cocktails. Always a winner."
🗣️ "That wax seal feels like a promise — and it delivers every time."
🗣️ "The 1-liter bottle is perfect for hosting. It’s the bourbon everyone likes."

Interesting Fact:
The Samuels family chose to use winter wheat instead of rye in the mash bill, a bold move that softened the bourbon’s spice and made it one of the first truly easy-sipping American whiskies.

Serving Suggestions:
Enjoy neat, on the rocks, or in an elevated Old Fashioned with orange bitters and a burnt citrus twist. For food pairings, try it with pecan pie, barbecue ribs, or sharp cheddar for a classic Southern spread.

Distillery Background:
Founded in 1953, Maker’s Mark transformed bourbon from rough-and-ready to refined and iconic. Nestled in the rolling hills of Loretto, Kentucky, the distillery still does things the old-fashioned way, handmade, small batch, and never rushed. The red wax? Still hand-dipped by real people, one bottle at a time.
