Product details
Maker's Mark Cask Strength Batch 24-03 (111.4 proof) is a bold expression of the iconic Kentucky bourbon, offering enthusiasts an uncut, unfiltered taste of the distillery's signature wheated mash bill. Founded in 1953 by Bill Samuels Sr. in Loretto, Kentucky, Maker's Mark has long been celebrated for its smooth, approachable bourbon, distinguished by its red winter wheat recipe and hand-dipped red wax seal. The Cask Strength series, introduced in 2014, allows aficionados to experience the bourbon straight from the barrel, capturing the essence of Maker's Mark in its purest form.
Batch 24-03 delivers a vivid and satisfying sensory experience. On the nose, it offers bold aromas of big oak, vanilla, and rich caramel. The palate is robust and warm, layered with caramel sweetness, creamy vanilla, and a well-integrated spice that highlights its full-bodied character. The finish is notably long and focused on the front of the tongue, delivering a harmonious close with no harsh bitterness. This bourbon pairs exceptionally well with grilled meats, barbecued ribs, or richer fare like smoked brisket and pecan pie, where its depth and warmth can truly shine.
