Collection: Maker's Mark

Maker's Mark has a rich and balanced flavour, with notes of vanilla, honey and caramel. These are complemented by subtle spices and fruity aromas, which together create a harmonious and smooth experience. As a wheated bourbon, produced using a high proportion of wheat, Maker's Mark is characterised by its mild, smooth texture, which makes it particularly accessible.

Maker's Mark looks back on a long tradition that began in 1805. Located in Kentucky’s Bluegrass region, the distillery has established itself through its premium positioning and international success. In 1953, Bill Samuels Sr. revolutionised the industry with his handcrafted bourbon, creating a whisky that is both smooth and full of flavour. To this day, Maker’s Mark is run by the Samuels family, who continue to uphold the vision of quality and tradition.

The distinctive red wax seal, which is applied by hand to every bottle, is a hallmark of Maker's Mark. This detail gives each bottle a unique appearance and ensures that every bottle is one of a kind. Maker's Mark also relies on traditional production methods, including the manual re-stacking of barrels and the use of special yeast strains, to achieve its unique flavour.

Discover the Gold Rush, a tempting twist on the classic Whisky Sour, which takes on a whole new dimension with honey syrup, also known as ‘liquid honey’. The combination of freshly squeezed lemon juice and the rich sweetness of the honey syrup makes this cocktail an unrivalled taste experience.
