Maker's Mark CASK STRENGTH Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky Batch 23-06 showcases the characteristic style of the historic Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, in a particularly robust form. The bourbon is bottled at 54.8 per cent in a 0.7-litre bottle and bears the batch number 23-06. As a cask-strength bourbon, it is offered with a significantly higher alcohol content than the classic Maker's Mark, thereby conveying a particularly concentrated expression of the distillery’s character. A distinctive feature of Maker’s Mark is its mash bill, which uses red winter wheat instead of rye, alongside maize and malted barley. This makes Maker’s Mark one of the so-called ‘wheated bourbons’, known for their comparatively smooth and rounded style.

The production of Maker's Mark Cask Strength Batch 23-06 follows the brand’s tried-and-tested methods. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is matured in new, charred American white oak casks. Bottling at cask strength particularly emphasises the bourbon’s structure and intensity, whilst remaining true to the typical Maker's Mark style. With its specific batch number 23-06 and an alcohol content of 54.8 % vol., this variant is of particular interest to bourbon enthusiasts who wish to experience Maker’s Mark at its strongest and closest to the cask.

The cask strength also provides an expressive base for an intense Old Fashioned.
