The history of the house

Since 1953, Maker’s Mark has been synonymous with handcrafted bourbon in Kentucky. The distillery is known for its focus on quality over quantity and for replacing rye with red winter wheat. This results in a softer, more rounded bourbon style. Each bottle is still dipped in red wax as a symbol of true craftsmanship and respect for tradition.
