Maker's Mark 46 French Oak Aged Bourbon Whisky - 750ml

Starts with fully matured Maker's Mark, straight from the barrel, the classic richness and warmth you expect. But then it takes a bold twist. We introduce seared French Oak staves to the barrel, threading new fire-kissed notes into the already well-rooted character of the whisky. The staves, toasted to unleash their caramelized sugars and subtle spice, begin to interact with the liquid in a deeper, more intimate dialogue. The result is a careful, deliberate transformation that respects the heritage of the original bourbon while inviting a fresh, nuanced profile.

We let this blend rest in winter conditions, a season that slows bourbon maturation and concentrates every emerging nuance. Cold, quiet days encourage a deliberate integration of flavors, allowing the wood to influence without overwhelming. Time becomes a partner in the process, guiding the balance between sweetness, spice, and oak, so that no single element dominates. The whisky grows in complexity with each moment of patience.

Upon pouring, you’ll notice a richer tapestry of aromas: notes of toasty oak, vanilla cream, and a whisper of char, layered with hints of candied citrus, dried fruit, and a faint ember of spice. On the palate, it presents as a fuller, more robust expression—silky and confident, with a velvet mouthfeel that yields to a lingering finish. It’s a bolder, more complex whisky that honors its Maker’s Mark lineage while inviting you to explore new depths in every sip. This is craft—reimagined, refined, and distinctly memorable.
