Maker’s Mark Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey is crafted in Loretto, Kentucky using a wheated mash bill of 70% corn, 16% red winter wheat, and 14% malted barley. Bottled at a bold 54.8% ABV without chill filtration, this barrel-proof bourbon opens with toasted oak, salted caramel, dark chocolate, and warm baking spice layered over soft vanilla and ripe apricot.

The palate is rich and creamy with caramel fudge, butterscotch, red fruit, and charred oak balanced by the signature sweetness of wheat. Its long finish delivers lingering vanilla cream, dark caramel, and nutmeg warmth without harshness. Best enjoyed neat with a few drops of water, over ice, or in a full-bodied Old Fashioned or Wheated Manhattan.
