The four Ws (water, wheat, wood and wax) are the time-honored, fundamental elements when it comes to crafting Makers Mark. Every barrel of Makers Mark is aged to taste, not time. Using red winter wheat rather than rye as the flavoring grain allows for Makers Mark to sit on the forward palate of the tongue. A noticeable and pleasant difference.

Founded in 1958, Maker’s Mark is now distilled in Loretto, Kentucky by Beam Suntory. It is known for its disinctive square bottle and red waxed top.
