Maker's Mark FAE-01 (2021 Limited Release)
Our third limited release from the Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series joins our previous years' expressions in honoring our signature bourbon- this time, amplifying the naturally present dried fruit and woody richness in a distinctively Maker's way. We like to say it tastes exactly how our barrel warehouse smells, with rich figgy notes complemented by tobacco undertones and a pleasantly dank woodiness.
