About this bottle
Maker's Mark 101 is a higher-proof expression of the classic wheated bourbon, bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV) rather than the standard release's 90 proof. It uses Maker's Mark's signature mash bill of corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley — wheat standing in for rye, which is what gives Maker's Mark its softer, less spicy profile compared to rye-forward bourbons. The extra proof brings more concentrated caramel, vanilla, and oak character without losing the smoothness the brand is known for. It's built for drinkers who like standard Maker's Mark but want more intensity, whether neat or in a cocktail that can handle the higher strength.
How to drink Maker's Mark 101
It holds up well in an Old Fashioned or Manhattan since the extra proof stands up to dilution, though it's smooth enough to sip neat too.

Questions about this bottle

What cocktails work well with Maker's Mark 101?

What makes Maker's Mark a 'wheated' bourbon?
Its mash bill uses red winter wheat instead of rye as the secondary grain alongside corn and malted barley, which gives Maker's Mark its softer, less spicy character than a rye-forward bourbon.
Why does every Maker's Mark bottle have a wax seal?
Maker's Mark has hand-dipped every bottle in its signature red wax since founder Bill Samuels Sr. started the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky in 1953 -- the dripping wax seal is trademarked and remains part of the brand's identity.
