Maker's Mark no. 46 French Oaked Bourbon Whiskey

Maker’s Mark 46 French Oaked Bourbon Whiskey, distilled and bottled at the iconic Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, embodies craftsmanship and innovation. The distillery, surrounded by Kentucky's rolling hills, boasts a rich heritage of producing premium wheated bourbons. The limestone-filtered water used in their process adds purity and clarity to every bottle. What sets Maker’s Mark 46 apart is its unique barreling process. Starting as classic Maker’s Mark Bourbon, it undergoes a secondary finishing process with ten seared French oak staves added to the barrel. This inventive technique, originally introduced in 2010, was an industry-first approach, later influencing bourbon production across the market. The additional aging period accentuates the bourbon’s character, offering a refined experience unlike the standard Maker's Mark. Its recent bottle redesign continues a focus on premium presentation, showcasing the bourbon’s French oaked process heritage. Despite the updates over the years, the spirit inside remains true to its roots, capturing the essence of deliberate craftsmanship and innovation. Loved for its attention to detail, creative finishing, and accessible price point, Maker’s Mark 46 is a favorite among whiskey enthusiasts. It’s a must-try for those seeking a deeper appreciation of bourbon-making artistry.
