Makers Mark Bourbon Cask Strength 7 year 750ml

Maker's Mark Cask Strength is a barrel-proof bourbon from Maker's Mark in Loretto, Kentucky, bottled straight from the barrel rather than cut to the brand's standard 90-proof strength. It's made from Maker's Mark's signature wheated mash bill — corn, red winter wheat, and malted barley in place of the rye most bourbons use — which gives the brand's whiskies their characteristically soft, sweet profile without rye's spicier bite. This 7-year release lets that wheated character develop real depth, and bottling at full cask strength (typically in the 108-114 proof range depending on batch) carries more concentrated oak and caramel into the glass than the standard bottling. It's built for bourbon drinkers who like Maker's Mark's house style but want it at full, undiluted strength.

How to drink Maker's Mark Cask Strength

Add a splash of water before tasting — cask-strength Maker's Mark runs well above the standard 90 proof and opens up considerably with a little dilution, letting the wheated sweetness come through without the alcohol heat dominating. Taste it in stages as you add water to find your preferred balance.
