Made by Bill Samuels, Sr. to be a whiskey that he would appreciate drinking himself, Maker’s Mark is smooth and receptive with a simple complete – a genuine complexity to hot, unforgiving whiskies that “brush your ears off,” and an out and out revolutionary thought at the time. Makers Mark is made gradually in little batches, in our National Historic Landmark refinery in Loretto, Kentucky. While it improves any mixed drink, a ton of people still lean toward it all alone, or over ice with a sprinkle of water.
