Maker’s Mark 46 French Oaked

General Information

Maker’s Mark 46 French Oaked is a premium bourbon, enriched by an innovative aging method using French oak staves. The careful process begins with hand-selected wheat, corn, and malted barley, which are carefully blended and distilled. After the initial aging, the whisky is transferred to barrels with French oak staves, resulting in a deeper, more complex profile. This method, applied exclusively in the precisely controlled environment of the Maker’s Mark distillery in Kentucky, USA, significantly enhances the influence of the oak wood.
