At Maker’s Mark, we created a propriety wood finishing process to explore unique expressions of our signature bourbon, originally crafted by my grandparent's in 1953. Our private Selection program allows for our closest friends to customize their own label, with 10 hand-selected oak staves. This creates a very rare expression with a unique taste profile achieved through the special combination of staves. Just as our signature bourbon reflects the taste vision of my grandfather, each barrel represents the “thumbprint” of our guest makers. Enjoy!
