Maker's MarkCask Strength

Maker's Mark Cask Strength is a full-strength Kentucky bourbon made with a wheated mashbill, meaning wheat is used in place of rye as the secondary grain. At 56.3% ABV and with a stated age of 7 years, it offers a richer, more concentrated take on the distillery's soft, approachable house style.

For a novice drinker, expect a sweeter and fuller profile than many standard bourbons, with noticeable vanilla, caramel, oak, and baking spice. The higher strength brings extra intensity and warmth, so a small splash of water can help open it up.
