Maker’s Mark The Lost Recipe 25

Maker’s Mark The Lost Recipe 25 is the 2025 Lost Recipe Series Edition 02 from Loretto, Kentucky: a limited stave-finished bourbon that revives the archived Roasted French Mocha stave. Ten finishing staves—three Baked American Pure 2, four Maker’s Mark 46, and three Roasted French Mocha—rest with fully matured cask-strength Maker’s in the limestone cellar. Bottled at 110.9 proof (55.45% ABV). Reach for it as a weeknight pour when chocolate and pastry should show on wheated bourbon.

Dark chocolate, mocha, and brown sugar lead, with cherry, vanilla, and toasted coconut standing out on the palate. The mouthfeel is medium-thick; milk chocolate, cinnamon sugar, and a warm, medium-long oak finish close the sip.
