Mars Shinshu Whisky 45
Mars Iwai 45 is a Japanese blended whisky known for its versatility in cocktails and a flavor profile influenced by American bourbon. It's a higher proof version of the original Iwai whisky, with notes of vanilla, butterscotch, baked apples, and strawberry on the nose, followed by ripe pears, quince, chocolate, and toffee on the palate. The finish is pleasantly sweet and lingering, according to some retailers.

Maker's Mark Maker's Mark
This one changed the way we think of bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., simply wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of the usual rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that's easy to drink. To ensure consistency, we rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Ky., just like Bill, Sr., would have wanted.
