Makers Mark Red Wax

Makers Mark Red Wax with 700 ml. and 45% volume from the United States of America.

Jim Murray, Whisky Magazine:

Nose
Aroma with delightful strands of exotic fruit and honey. Fruit cake. Oak adds to feeling of class.

Palate
Lush, pleasingly deep and malty. A firm nuttiness adds extra oily, chewability to the toffee.

Finish
Drier than of old. Caramel toffee with the oak guarantees a bittersweet edge.

Comment
An old faithful of a bourbon. Never lets you down and being from the wheaty school always shows good oak balance. Nose is to die for.

Maker's Mark® Bourbon

As distinct as the taste of Maker’s Mark® Bourbon is its bottle and name. Designed by Margie Samuels – the wife of Maker’s Mark creator Bill Samuels, Sr. – the square-shape container was inspired by her collection of cognac bottles. In keeping with the look of the French spirit, Mrs. Samuels decided to hand dip the very first bottles in red wax in her kitchen home fryer – a process that has now expanded and has blessed millions of the famous bourbon bottles. Taking it one step further, Mrs. Samuels, a collector of English pewter, recognized that any worthy craftsman uniquely branded each of his creations with what became a personal “Maker’s Mark.” She deemed it a perfect title for her husband’s handmade bourbon.

The iconic bottle and wax defines the care that goes into making each bottle of this hand-crafted bourbon. Today, Maker’s Mark continues to handcraft its bourbon in exactly the same way as Bill Samuels, Sr. – in small batches with a personal touch a part of every drop of whisky.
