YOU JUST GOT THE DROP. Get ready to raise your glass. We’re dropping two all-time faves in this month’s shipment:
Maker’s Mark® Cellar Aged 2024 and Maker’s Mark® Cask Strength.
Cellar Aged 2024 follows last year’s blockbuster debut. It’s made from a select blend of now 13- and 12-year-old Maker’s Mark . ® After their bourbon reaches maturity in our traditional warehouses, barrels are moved to our limestone cellar where we push the boundaries of “aging to taste, not time.”
Cask Strength represents the fullest version of our classic flavor profile. The caramel, vanilla and fruity notes you know and love are expressed in their full glory. There's nothing watered down about this surprisingly smooth sipper, which comes in at a range of 108–114.

Our first-of-its-kind
LIMESTONE CELLAR
In 2016, we built into a limestone hillside on Star Hill Farm to devise a new way of aging bourbons. Maker’s Mark 46 , ® Maker’s Mark® Private Selection and, of course, the namesake Cellar Aged come to maturity in this LEED-certified, temperature-controlled space that’s ideal for finishing whisky.
Thanks to consistent 50-degree temps, the limestone cellar slows down time in a sense, as well as those tannins that can cause sharpness during maturation. During its time here, Cellar Aged develops deeper, darker depths of complex flavor.
Be sure to check out our cellar the next time you’re down on Star Hill Farm.
CELLAR AGED 2024
It’s a little older and a little finer. Now made from a blend of 13- and 12-year-old Maker’s Mark,® Cellar Aged is aged to perfection in our first-of-its-kind, LEED-certified limestone cellar.
AROMA: Caramelized sugar, citrus, almond
TASTE: Shortbread, rich coconut, bright spice
FINISH: Dried dark fruit, toasted oak, with a long mouthwatering finish
CASK STRENGTH
When Bill Samuels, Jr., first tasted Maker’s Mark® at barrel proof, he had a revelation. He decided then that Cask Strength was too good not to share. Taste for yourself and see what changed Bill’s mind.
Maker’s Mark is proud to be the first distillery to achieve Regenified ™ Tier 3 certification.
Regenerative agriculture works in harmony with nature to repair, rebuild and restore the ecosystem. It’s an approach that heals the land, renews soil nutrients and supports biodiversity.
Proven to yield positive climate effects, cleaner waterways and health benefits, regenerative agriculture also delivers unique, complex whisky with a rich depth of flavor.
That’s why we consider this important distinction a win-win.
