Maker's Mark Maker's Mark Cask Strength

As water evaporates from the barrels while our whisky slumbers, the proof increases. But if you’ve ever lived in Kentucky, you know our summer temperatures can fluctuate  wildly – so the rate at which our bourbon becomes the “angel’s share” also differs.

As a result, we’re never 100% sure what the proof will be till we open the barrels.

Bottled at 108 to 114 proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength amps up the front-of-  the-palate flavours of Maker’s Mark. In other words, it’s Maker’s with a lot more Maker’s. But the higher alcohol content isn’t the story here – it’s the taste.

Maker’s Mark Cask Strength has more of the rich oak, vanilla, caramel and spice  that are the signature flavours of Maker’s  Mark.

Aroma: Big oak, vanilla and smoky  charcoal

Taste: Richer, more robust flavors of spice,  vanilla and smoke

Finish: Longer finish on front of tongue  with no roughness or bitterness
