Maker's 46 Straight Bourbon, 750 ml Single Glass Bottle, ABV 47.0%, 94 Proof

Maker's 46 Straight Bourbon, 750 ml Single Glass Bottle, ABV 47.0%, 94 Proof. Uniquely finished to deliver a more elevated experience, Makerâ™s 46® is aged longer with special seared French oak staves. With subtly layered bourbon notes and balanced complexity, 46 is the legacy of Bill Samuels, Jr., son of Makerâ™s Mark® founders Bill and Margie. Released in 2010, Makerâ™s 46® was the first new major expression to be created at Star Hill Farm since classic Makerâ™s® went into production in 1953.French oaked for layers of flavor, Maker's 46® is the taste vision of Bill Samuels, Jr. Creating his signature bourbon requires first-of-its-kind finishing that begins with fully matured cask strength Makerâ™s Mark®. Ten seared French oak staves are fitted into the barrel before the whisky is finished to maturity under ideal conditions in our limestone cellar. The result is an easy-to-sip bourbon with notes of caramel, vanilla and baking spice that greet the palate in layers for a longer finish. Capturing the 46 taste vision took some doing. But all you need to figure out is your favorite way to enjoy Bill, Jr.â™s recipe.The first new bourbon since opening our doors had to make a statement. Bill's legacy to re-imagine his family's bourbon recipe made Makerâ™s 46 the first offering from our breakthrough wood-finishing series. Today, we continue to experiment with the effects of wood finishing to craft new expressions of Makerâ™s Mark®, always remaining true to the original Makerâ™s® â“ and the expertise, passion and persistence of Bill and Margie. Because we enjoyed the wood-finishing experience so much, we expanded the concept into expressions like Maker's Mark® Private Selection.
