About Maker’s Mark® Bourbon

In 1953, in Loretto, Ky., Bill Samuels, Sr., realized his dream of creating a delicious, artisanal bourbon. He decided to make his whiskey in small batches, using soft red winter wheat to enhance the sweetness and sweetness. He then twirled each barrel by hand for consistency and finally aged each barrel to taste. Bill Samuels, Sr., transformed bourbon from a “commodity” into a premium craft spirit, and today Maker’s Mark continues to craft its bourbon the same way. By his side, co-founder and wife Margie Samuels left her indelible mark on the brand. While Bill was developing the smooth-tasting, wheat-based Maker’s Mark Bourbon, Margie is responsible for the bourbon’s name and label, the remarkable bottle shape, the signature, iconic look that still today entails dip each bottle by hand in red wax, and so on. much more. Bill and Margie’s tried-and-true approach still seems to be working just fine over 60 years later, as Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon was awarded double gold at the prestigious San Francisco Spirits Competition in 2021. In recent years, Maker’s Mark introduced premium, premium innovations to its portfolio, including Maker’s Mark 46®, Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength and Maker’s Mark® Private Selection, the industry’s first-ever custom cask program.
