Product Description

Maker’s Mark is a unique bourbon that distinguishes itself by using red winter wheat in its mash bill (approx. 16%), instead of the more common rye, which contributes to its sweeter, less spicy profile. It is aged for around 6 to 7 years, with the whisky bottled “to taste” rather than by a specific age. The small batch production process, where no more than 19 barrels are used at a time, ensures a consistent flavor profile. The signature red wax seal, hand-dipped on every bottle, adds to its distinctive appeal.

How does it differ from Jim Beam?
Jim Beam is a rye-bourbon (spicier), while Maker’s Mark is a wheated-bourbon (sweeter and smoother).

Is it gluten-free?
Yes, the distillation process removes all gluten from the grain mash.
