Makers Mark Bourbon

Maker’s Mark is a small-batch Kentucky straight bourbon whisky produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Suntory Global Spirits, famous for its signature hand-dipped red wax seal and unique wheated mash bill.

Established in 1953 by Bill Samuels Sr., who famously burned his family’s 170-year-old whisky recipe and designed the brand around a smoother, approachable flavor profile.

Uses iron-free, calcium- and magnesium-rich water sourced from an 11-acre spring-fed lake at the Star Hill Farm campus in Marion County, Kentucky. Every bottle is still individually hand-dipped in red wax at the distillery.
