Maker's Mark is America’s 2nd best-selling Premium Bourbon. Everything about Maker’s Mark is hand-made; no expense is spared to produce the best product possible. We use red winter wheat as our flavor grain, for a gentler more pleasant taste. We require that the American white oak from which our barrels are made be seasoned outdoors for a minimum of nine months, to remove bitter tannins. The crowning touch is the red wax seal. Because every bottle is hand-dipped, no two are exactly alike.
