Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is handmade in small batches at the National Historic Landmark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. Built on a wheated mash bill rather than the rye most bourbons use, it's bottled at 45% ABV (90 proof).

Handmade Since 1953

Created by sixth-generation distiller Bill Samuels Sr. in 1953, Maker's Mark changed the bourbon industry with a smoother, more approachable style. Still family run today, now by Bill's grandson Rob Samuels, every bottle is still made slowly in small batches and finished with the brand's signature hand-dipped red wax seal.
