Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky 45% 70cl £23 @ Amazon

• Maker's Mark is a hand-crafted American Whisky with quality and flavour at the heart of everything we do. Never bitter or sharp, Maker’s Mark is made with sort red winter wheat, instead of the traditional rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full flavoured bourbon that’s easy to drink.
• Pronounced notes of of vanilla, caramel and woody oak with a light amber colour. Created with a soft, rich, creamy and balanced flavour vision in mind that founder Bill Samuels would be proud to share with his family and friends.
• Aged in new toasted American Oak barrels, aged to taste, not time and every barrel is rotated by hand for a smoother flavour.
• Every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in our signature red wax at our distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, just like Bill, Sr, would have wanted.
• Enjoy neat or in your favourite classic cocktails like a Maker's Mark Old Fashioned or for something more refreshing, try a Maker's Mark Old Fashioned Cooler.

Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky® is still handcrafted the way our founders, Margie and Bill Samuels, Sr., intended when they invented it in 1953. Each label is hand-cut, every barrel is hand-rotated, and each bottle is hand-dipped in our signature red wax. Each part of the process – from bottling Maker’s® at 90 proof to making it with red winter wheat – is carefully considered to produce a smoother-tasting whisky. Purposefully made by hand, the wheated mash bill provides a sweeter and softer flavour profile, maximizing flavours without the bite
