Maker's Mark 101 Proof Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky 750ml
Maker's Mark 101 Proof is a higher strength expression of the iconic Maker's Mark, first introduced at travel retail airport shops in 2018 before becoming more widely available. It uses the same signature wheated mash bill as the flagship bottling, 70 percent corn, 16 percent red winter wheat, and 14 percent malted barley, with no rye, aged approximately six years using Maker's Mark's traditional barrel rotation process to ensure consistent flavor across every barrel.
Bottled at 101 proof (50.5% ABV), 11 points above the standard 90 proof release, this expression brings more intensity and depth without losing the brand's signature approachability. Expect ripe apricot, golden apple, cinnamon, and clove on the nose, with a rich palate of caramel popcorn, roasted peanut, apricot jam, sour cherry, and milk chocolate. The finish carries warm baking spice, cedar, and a touch of char.
A great pickup for fans of the standard Maker's Mark looking for more punch, and a versatile pour that holds up equally well neat, on the rocks, or in a classic cocktail like an Old Fashioned or Manhattan.
