Makers Mark Private Selection "Chocolate Sundae" 750 ml

Maker's Mark Private Selection 'Chocolate Sundae' is a custom barrel finished by blending in a specific combination of seared and toasted oak staves before final maturation — part of Maker's Mark's program letting individual retail accounts hand-pick a stave profile and name the resulting barrel. This particular combination leans into dessert-like sweetness: think chocolate, caramel, and vanilla layered over the distillery's usual soft, wheated bourbon base, with a rounder mouthfeel than the standard release. Distilled and aged at Maker's Mark's distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, it's a one-off, store-specific pick rather than a nationally available bottling — worth grabbing if you find it, since the exact stave combination won't be repeated the same way twice.

How to drink Maker's Mark Private Selection 'Chocolate Sundae'

Neat or over a single large cube lets the chocolate and caramel notes from the custom stave finish come through clearly. It's rich enough to work as a dessert pour on its own, no actual dessert required.
