Maker's Mark image
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.

Knob Creek 18 Year Old
This limited-edition release celebrates the time, effort, and commitment to our never-ending pursuit of craft. Aged twice as long as our flagship bourbon, Knob Creek 18-Year-Old owes its rich copper color and deep notes of caramelized oak to its extensive aging in our Kentucky rack houses. A pioneer in small-batch Whiskey, Knob Creek challenged the prevailing tide, reshaping the industry. Their choice to age Bourbon for 9 years and beyond is driven by an unwavering belief in its worth. Guided by seventh-generation distillers, time breathes life into each drop, creating an exquisite libation that exudes elegance and enhances any cocktail. Knob Creek: where patience crafts unparalleled Whiskey.
