Maker’s Mark 2021 Limited Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Pour this cask-strength bourbon neat to experience it at undiluted barrel proof. Dark dried fruit anchors the flavor, with oak and broader woody tones alongside it. A small addition of water can soften the pour, while a large cube offers a slower, cooler serve. There is no complicated ritual required; choose the approach that suits how strongly you want the whiskey to show.

This 2021 Maker’s Mark release is Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey matured in secondary barrels with proprietary wood staves. That additional maturation stage makes the barrel treatment an important part of how this release was produced. The 750 mL size leaves room to try it in a few straightforward ways, from an undiluted pour to a lightly tempered serving over ice.
