Maker’s Mark 46 is the first new bourbon we’ve produced since opening our doors and the first offering from our wood-finishing series. We experimented tirelessly with the effects of wood-finishing to craft entirely new expressions of Maker’s Mark that are true to the original. This required much trial and error – but expertise, passion and persistence paid off in the end. We enjoyed the Maker’s Mark 46 wood-finishing experience so much, we decided to expand the concept with Maker’s Mark® Private Selection

We tried dozens of different wood staves that were cut, toasted and charred a number of ways. We added these to Maker’s Mark at cask strength and eventually discovered the wonderful effects that seared French oak had on our bourbon. These virgin staves are the essential component to the amped-up notes of vanilla and caramel of Maker’s Mark 46, without the bitterness that often comes with additional aging.
