MWL MEMBER EXCLUSIVE TASTINGS:

MAKER’S 46 COCKTAIL AND MACARON

ABOUT MAKER’S MARK

Maker’s Mark® began with one family’s quest to create a bourbon they enjoyed drinking and sharing with friends. As the world’s first premium bourbon, it changed the industry in 1953.

Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark^® is made with soft red winter wheat instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that’s smooth and balanced.  Bill found his ideal mash bill in the kitchen, cleverly testing mash bills through bread in order to quickly test recipes without distilling and aging. It’s the red winter wheat that imparts the front-of-palate sweetness that Maker’s^® is known for.

The limestone shelf where the distillery is located is key to crafting the unique taste of Maker’s Mark^® – the only distillery with its own water source and watershed. Kentucky limestone filters out iron from water, which is unpleasant in bourbon. The pure calcium- and magnesium-rich water surrounding the distillery makes better drinking water and a better sour mash in which yeast can flourish.

Explore Maker’s 46 with a gourmet twist – French Macarons. The pairing experience showcases the layered flavors of bourbon while highlighting the craftsmanship and premium quality of Maker’s Mark 46. Each of the macarons have been developed to mirror the aroma, taste and finish of Maker’s Mark 46.
