Description

Maker's Mark 46 Bourbon is a Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky that starts as standard Maker's Mark, then undergoes a unique finishing process. Ten heavily seared virgin French oak staves are placed into just-emptied barrels, and the bourbon is returned to the warehouses for an additional 2-3 months of aging. This process creates a bolder, more complex flavor profile with amplified notes of vanilla, caramel, and spice, and a longer finish without bitterness.
