Maker's Mark, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, Whisky 45%
€49.29 /L
Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon is an iconic bourbon from Kentucky, renowned for its smooth, generous and perfectly balanced style. Crafted using a unique mash bill based on corn, red winter wheat and malted barley, it stands apart through the absence of rye, resulting in a softer, rounder mouthfeel. Aged in new charred American oak barrels, Maker’s Mark reveals indulgent aromas of vanilla, caramel, ripe fruits and gentle spices. The palate is warm, harmonious and approachable, leading to an elegant, lightly oaked finish. An iconic bourbon, equally enjoyable neat or in classic cocktails.
