FULL ON FLAVOR
With our previous two limited releases, we used different unique staves to reach a specific taste profile. For our 2021 release, we took it further by only searing one side of our staves – leaving the other side raw – to extract separate flavors from each side of the individual staves.
PUTTING THE WOOD TO WORK
Each virgin American oak stave is seasoned outside for 18 months – six months longer than usual – and baked in a convection oven. These staves are added to a barrel of fully matured Maker’s Mark® at cask strength. The barrel is then aged for an additional period in our limestone cellar. The result is a bourbon that is wonderfully unique, yet unmistakably Maker’s Mark.
