To ensure that their bourbon is never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a unique full-flavoured drinking experience. To ensure consistency, every Virgin American oak barrel is rotated by hand and all of the bourbon is aged to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker’s Mark® is still hand-dipped in their signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Kentucky.
