Full-bodied, uncut, and intensely flavorful, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon delivers the distillery’s signature wheated profile at its most powerful. Bottled straight from the barrel with no dilution, this expression showcases deeper richness, enhanced texture, and amplified flavor while maintaining Maker’s Mark’s hallmark smoothness.
With extended aging around 7 years, this release adds extra depth and oak influence to the classic Maker’s profile, making it a bold yet balanced bourbon for enthusiasts.
Process & Profile
Crafted using Maker’s Mark’s signature wheated mash bill (replacing rye with red winter wheat), this bourbon is aged to develop a softer, rounder profile. Bottled at cask strength, it retains its natural proof and full flavor intensity, offering a more concentrated and expressive experience.
The additional aging enhances notes of caramel, vanilla, and oak while preserving its approachable character.
