Makers Mark 46 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey ABV 47%
Makers Mark 46 was the first new major expression to be created at the Makers Mark Distillery since our original bourbon went into production in 1953 A bolder and more complex version of Makers Mark Pronounced notes of caramel and vanilla and a long finish but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged Whiskies Makers Mark 46 starts with fully matured Makers Mark We then add 10 seared French Oak staves to each barrel and place it in our specially built limestone cellar for a further 9 weeks where its rested at a consistent 50 degrees This imparts flavour while keeping the wood from expanding and releasing bitter tannins
Makers Mark 46 was the brainchild of Bill Samuels Jr, son of the Makers Mark founders, Bill and Margie With a taste vision in mind Bill wanted to create a new generation Makers Mark
After finding the flavour he was after he learned that the perfectly toasted French Oak stave was on file as Stave Profile No 46 which later gave the bourbon its name While we recommend drinking it neat or on the rocks, the higher proof of Makers Mark 46 allows the bourbon flavour to stand up to whatever you mix it with Its especially great in classic cocktails such as a Makers Mark 46 Manhattan
