About Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series RC 6 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey
On October 1, 1953, William Samuels Sr. purchased Burks Distillery, which was situated in Loretto, Kentucky, for $35,000. Five years later, the distillery released the first bottles of Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whiskey, which featured the distillery’s distinctive red wax seal. The distillery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1980.
Made from a mash of corn, wheat, and malted barley, Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey (spelled without an “e” to honor the Samuels family’s Scottish heritage) manages to marry large-scale, global production with a rich tradition in a way that few other distilleries can rival. The actual “makers” of Maker’s Mark still rotate the barrels in the distillery’s warehouses, bottle the whiskey and dip the bottles in wax — all by hand.
This Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2019 is a limited release, aged in a stave profile RC6. Maker’s RC6 is the first release in a collection of Maker’s Mark expressions that employ innovative wood stave-finishing technique to enhance the flavor.
