Introducing Maker's Mark BEP Wood Finishing Series 2023, a limited-edition bourbon that embodies the brand's commitment to craftsmanship and innovation. This one-of-a-kind release features a blend of Maker's Mark's signature wheated bourbon that has been aged to perfection and finished for an additional nine weeks in barrels made from American oak and European oak staves that were previously used to age Bordeaux wine.
The resulting flavor profile is a harmonious blend of warm vanilla, toasted oak, and fruit notes, with hints of spice and a subtle sweetness. The rich, amber color of the bourbon is a testament to the time and care that went into its creation.
What makes this release truly special is the barrel selection process. Maker's Mark worked closely with the Bluegrass Economic Advancement Movement (BEAM) to identify and select the barrels for this release, highlighting the brand's commitment to supporting and investing in its local community.
Experience the unique and complex flavors of Maker's Mark BEP Wood Finishing Series 2023, and savor the taste of a truly exceptional bourbon.
TASTING NOTES: An expression with prominent wood sugars bringing first strong notes of vanilla, caramel, and sweet spice.
