CHEERS, The Whisky Drop by Maker’s Mark® Team

JOIN THE TASTING

BOTTLES AT OUR

We launched The Whisky Drop by Maker’s Mark® in 2021, meaning it’s already been two full years of sharing some of our most special bottles – 18 of them, to be exact. That’s included seven Limited Releases, five Wood Finishing Series expressions, four DNA Project bottles, one CommUNITY Batch blend and a rare holiday label bottle. If you’ve been with us since the beginning, we’d say that’s a pretty solid haul. We are even more excited about all we’ll be able to deliver in the future. So, stick around, and maybe sip a round.

CHEERS TO WHAT’S TO COME.

LIMITED RELEASE: 2023 BEP

If you know a little about Maker’s Mark® – and we’d bet you do since you got this drop – you’ll know about things like how we use red winter wheat and hand-rotate our barrels. But another part that’s just as important and isn’t mentioned as much is our 110 barrel entry proof. The lower proof is essential to achieving Bill, Sr.’s taste profile. This bottle is a tribute to that part in the process and will give you an amplification of all the good things it brings.

AROMA:

Toasty vanilla, subtle spice, caramel

TASTE:

Bright, vanilla, brown sugar

FINISH:

Medium body, balanced, rich caramel and dry baking spices

CASK STRENGTH 2023

Maker’s Mark 46 ® is undeniably delicious as is. But with something that good, a cask strength version is almost inevitable. If you’ve never had the chance to try it, this bottle gives you everything loved about Maker’s Mark 46 ®, but with amplified notes of almond, fig and chocolate. Or a simpler description – it’s a whole lot of good.

AROMA:

Strong caramel and almond with dark fruit and figs

TASTE:

Heavy dark fruit and baking spices, rounded out with caramel and vanilla for complexity

FINISH: Long, dry and sharp

WHISKY DROP # 2

TAKING CARE OF STAR HILL FARM

If the name hadn’t clued you in, Star Hill Farm isn’t just the home of our distillery. It’s a large piece of land with a lot going on – from a white oak tree repository to, well, farming. And just like our bourbon, we put tons of care into our land, because what you put in affects what you get out. All that care has paid off. Thanks to our commitment to regenerative farming practices, we’re proud to call ourselves the first distillery to earn Regenified ™ certification. Regenified is a team of farming experts and innovators combating the decline of soil health due to unsustainable agricultural

practices. They work with farmers, ranchers, manufacturers and retailers to preserve soil for future generations.

While certification is great validation of what we’ve been doing, it wasn’t the final goal. We’re committed to the quality ingredients in our bourbon and simply quality bourbon. But more important, we’re committed to being a continued force for good in nature and all we touch. We think that’s a nice added bonus to think about while sipping your new bottles.
