The Lost Recipe Series from Maker's Mark digs into the distillery's private archives for retired oak staves and uses them to craft recipe combinations that have never been tasted before. Edition 02, the 2025 release, is built around an archived "Mocha" stave, a Roasted French Mocha profile hand-picked from the Maker's Mark private selection archives.
