Makers "46" Bourbon

In 1840, the Samuel family established the first distillery. The family's bourbons enjoyed great success and popularity until Prohibition in the United States in 1921. When Prohibition ended, Bill Samuels Jr. resumed production and decided to reinvent the then 170-year-old family recipe in a more modern and smooth style with sweet notes of corn, barley and winter wheat, which are the hallmarks of quality bourbon. Bill Samuel Jr. set new standards for production by using pure spring water and today the bourbon is aged in new American oak barrels for between 5½ and 6½ years depending on temperature and humidity. After this, 19 barrels are selected at a time for each production, which is the lowest number in American whiskey production. During aging, the barrels are rotated to ensure a stable aging process, after which each bottle is sealed with a unique layer of wax. Maker's Mark took many years to perfect, which is why the recipe has been preserved for over 40 years, perfect for enjoying neat, with ice cubes and in cocktails such as the Old Fashion and Whiskey Sour.
