Product description
Since the launch of Maker's 46 in 2010, Maker's Mark Distillery has been constantly experimenting with new finishing variants.
In 2019, the Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series debuted with the RC6 edition. A year later, we received the SE4 x PR5 edition, the aim of which was to emphasize the caramel and vanilla elements in the aromatic and flavor palette. For this purpose, two types of staves were installed in the barrels - SE4 means French oak, the wood was heated at a not too high temperature and slightly roasted, while PR5 is American virgin oak, heated at a low temperature. Sales of Maker's Mark are characterized by incredible dynamics, in 2019 they increased by 10%, reaching a result of 29 million bottles.
