Enhanced by custom French oak staves, this offers intensified aromas of caramelized brown sugar, rich vanilla, and baked cherry pie. The signature wheated bourbon softness meets deeper oak influence, revealing notes of toasted almond, maple syrup, and warm baking spices with a subtle mocha undertone.
Fuller and more complex than the original Maker's Mark, delivering waves of sweet caramel, dark cherry, and vanilla alongside pronounced oak tannins from the stave finishing. The wheat-forward mashbill maintains a creamy, smooth texture while the added oak brings structure, spice, and hints of dark chocolate.
Medium-long with lingering oak spice, caramel sweetness, and a warming, gently tannic fade accented by vanilla and toasted wood.
The purist's choice. Full oak, vanilla, and caramel come through at room temperature with no dilution.
A single large cube slows dilution and tames heat on high-proof pours. Wheated bourbons are especially good this way.
On 100+ proof bottles, a few drops settle the alcohol burn and let the grain and spice breathe.
