Lower barrel entry proof. Bigger flavor. This limited-release bourbon showcases the influence of Maker’s unique, 110 barrel entry proof (also known as BEP). It was crafted to amplify the balanced wood sugars, softer tannins and lasting finish achieved with the low 110 BEP. Special finishing staves were used to amplify notes of vanilla and sweet spice that naturally occur from lower BEPs.
Inspired by the creation of Maker's Mark 46, the Wood Finishing Series process begins with fully matured Maker's Mark at cask strength. These barrels are fitted with 10 wood staves of varying types and combinations and then stored in the Maker's Mark limestone cellar for additional aging. The variations in wood create distinctly enhanced flavors in each unique expression.
