Maker’s Mark Handmade Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
Maker’s Mark Handmade Kentucky Straight Bourbon On October 1, 1953, William Samuels Sr. purchased Burks Distillery, which was situated in Loretto, Kentucky, for $35,000. Five years later, the distillery released the first bottles of Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky, which featured the distillery’s distinctive red wax seal.
The distillery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1980. Made from a mash of corn, wheat, and malted barley, Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (spelled without an “e” to honor the Samuels family’s Scottish heritage) manages to marry large-scale, global production with a rich tradition in a way that few other distilleries can rival.
The actual “makers” of Maker’s Mark still rotate the barrels in the distillery’s warehouses, bottle the whisky and dip the bottles in wax — all by hand.
Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon is highly distinct from the majority of other bourbons on the market which are made from a mash of malted barley, rye, and corn. Wheat serves as the replacement for rye in the recipe. This ‘wheated’ bourbon, is crafted from red winter wheat, and bottled at 90 proof.

I saw this light up Maker’s Mark Handmade Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey and had to get it. I’ll save it for a special occasion to treat friends but I just had to buy it before it could sell out. It came perfectly packaged. No scratches or other damage. Light is working. Shipping was quick. I will trust this company with future purchases.
