Maker’s Mark is a Kentucky straight bourbon made in Loretto, Kentucky, and its secret is in the grain. Instead of the rye most bourbons use, it is made with soft red winter wheat, which gives a rounder, sweeter, gentler bourbon without the peppery bite. It is bottled when the tasters decide it is ready, rather than on a fixed number of years.
Every bottle is still dipped by hand in the famous red wax, so no two seals look quite the same. Inside, you get rich caramel and vanilla, a touch of fruit and a smooth, warming finish — easy to sip and a superb base for classic cocktails.

Did You Know?
📖 Maker’s Mark spells “whisky” without the “e”, a nod to the Samuels family’s Scotch-Irish heritage. The name, the bottle shape and the red wax seal were all the work of co-founder Margie Samuels, whose eye for design helped turn a small Kentucky distillery into an icon.
🌟 Final Note: Soft, sweet and sealed by hand — a bourbon that’s as good to give as it is to drink.
