Description
A Tribute to the Hands That Shape Every Drop
Maker’s Mark has long been defined by its people — the distillers, blenders, and craftspeople who pour their expertise into every barrel. The Keeper’s Release is a celebration of that legacy, part of the acclaimed Wood Finishing Series and crafted in honor of the brand’s most dedicated stewards. This limited expression takes Maker’s Mark’s signature wheated bourbon and finishes it with a proprietary stave configuration, unlocking layers of complexity that go well beyond the classic red wax bottle.
Tasting Notes
- Nose: Rich caramel and toasted oak open first, followed by dried fruit, vanilla bean, and a whisper of baking spice.
- Palate: Velvety and full-bodied with notes of dark cherry, brown sugar, roasted nuts, and a subtle hint of charred wood and leather.
- Finish: Long and warming, with lingering toffee, cinnamon, and a gentle oakiness that fades gracefully.
