Maker’s Mark Classic Bourbon

4.6 5 0 76 76 Maker’s Mark® is still handcrafted the way our founders, Margie & Bill Samuels Sr. intended when they invented it in 1953. Each label is hand-cut, every barrel is hand rotated, and each bottle is hand-dipped in our signature red wax. Bottled at 90 proof, and made with red winter wheat, each part of the process is carefully considered to produce a smoother tasting whisky. Purposefully made by hand, the wheated mashbill provides a sweeter and softer flavor profile maximizing flavors without the bite.

Distinctive bottle
Firstly the bottle is very impressive the design of the dripping wax down the sides from the top is brilliant! Lovely full bodied whisky with a creamy soft taste. Definitely a new favourite here drank on its own or even if you need it with a mixer

Hit the Mark
I’m not usually a Bourbon drinker but I was looking forward to trying this brand. As I am not a whiskey or bourbon connoisseur I’d not heard of the brand before. I really liked the wax seal as it added a touch of sophistication too. I enjoyed this with cola and ice and was pleasantly surprised with its smooth taste and caramel flavours that came through. Looking forward to trying this mixed with a lemonade or even as a cocktail too as I think the flavours would go well.

Classic drink
This whisky is a classic bourbon which is smooth and easy to drink. I like to have a glass on a night and find it very relaxing. Also good to give as a gift.

Top notch bourbon
This bourbon is both smooth enough to drink on its own or in a classic cocktail such as an Old Fashioned. Maker's Mark is amongst the best bourbons I've imbibed and highly recommend it.

Smooth
Maker’s Mark is an exceptional whiskey; it’s smooth yet comforting when drinking. The woody, vanilla notes really come through, especially when drunk on the rocks (neat with ice). I really liked the wax seal around the bottle; it gave it an added vintage and special feel. It’s the ideal bottle to open around friends. It would also make a really good gift for anyone who likes whiskey. 10/10 for design and ease of opening. 10/10 for taste.

Love this!
Finally found a nice bourbon I can drink without any mixer! This is my new favourite bourbon and I have certianly tried a few. I used to mix my bourbon with cola but over the last few months I have gotten used to the taste on its own and finding a nice bourbon to do that with is great. The bottle has a nice look to it but I'm not a fan of it being a screw top rather than a cork (might just be me lol) The taste is very smooth and a very easy drink to have. Full of vanilla and caramel notes. Beautiful

Makers mark
I really enjoyed this well rounded bourbon. It has a nutty taste combined with vanilla, very warming. I enjoyed drinking this neat with just ice as the flavour is so good and has zero burn; it’s enjoyable to slowly sip on, to truly savour. I love the presentation and they use a red wax seal to secure the drink.

My new go to whisky!
Not only does the packaging give a luxury feel, but the whisky is smooth and subtle. It makes for a perfect mixer and really does taste delicious with hints of caramel and vanilla!

An average whisky
An average whisky which tastes similar to many others on the market. A pleasurable drinking experience but nothing that makes it stand out from others on the market. Isn't one I'd rush to buy again but wouldn't be upset to receive it as a gift

Very smooth
I recieved this free from home tester club to try. I really enjoyed this whisky. It was really smooth, with a subtle smoke/oak and vanilla flavour. Did not feel strong and was really easy to drink slowly on the rocks. I did try it with coke and follows some of the ideas of recipes from the company. Using this to make a whisky sour was great, otherwise recommend having it neat. Lovely bourbon.

Lovely Bourbon
Really enjoyed trying this whisky. Firstly, I love the packaging. The melted wax is a great feature, making each bottle unique and giving a real feel of a premium product. It’s really easy to Open and a nice looking bottle to have on the side. Lovely tasting and very versatile in use. I have enjoyed on the rocks and also made a whisky sour which was lovely.

Nice bourbon
Lovely bourbon whisky. Great to match with a mixer or as a little tipple on its own if that's what you prefer. Prefer a single malt myself but this was lovely to try for a bit of a change. Lovely bottle and lid before opening.
