Product description
Bourbon Maker's Mark is a 1950s creation by Bill Samuels Sr., with contributions from Julian "Pappy" Van Winkle and Ernest Ripy.
After countless experiments, a formula containing 70% corn, 16% winter wheat and 14% barley malt was chosen. Maker's Mark debuted in 1958 and remained unknown until an article in the Wall Street Journal in August 1980. Today, it is one of the iconic bourbons with annual sales of over 29 million bottles (2019). Maker's Mark Bespoke Bourbon is presented in an elegant bottle designed by a French designer. The attached booklet contains the address of the website makersmark.com/bespoke where you can order a personalized label for it.
