The classic soft, wheated Kentucky bourbon.
What it is
Maker's Mark is a Kentucky straight bourbon whisky, bottled at 90 proof (45% ABV) and sealed with its famous hand-dipped red wax. It is made with red winter wheat instead of rye, which gives it a soft, smooth and approachable character. It is a versatile bourbon that works just as well for sipping as it does in classic cocktails.
