Maker's Mark Cellar Aged Cask Strength 2025 Release

Cellar Aged 2025 Release is the third edition in the annual Maker's Mark Cellar Aged series. It is an artistic blend of 11, 13 and 14 Year Old barrels, delivering a fruitier, deeper and darker bourbon. The bourbon first aged in Maker’s Mark’s traditional warehouse, before spending years in the distillery’s unique LEED-certified, temperature-controlled limestone cellar. This is where Cellar Aged develops a deeper, richer and more complex flavour. It was bottled at cask strength.

    Nose:    Vibrant with notes of dark brown sugar, caramelized oak, and baked apple.

    Taste:    Robust with a balance of creamy fudge, toasted almond, and ripe dark cherry.

    Finish:   Viscous with butterscotch, orange zest, and soft baking spice.

Maker's Mark distillery is located at Star Hill Farm in Kentucky. Maker's Mark began with one family's quest to create a bourbon they enjoyed drinking and sharing with friends. As the world's first premium bourbon, it changed the industry in 1953.
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 smooth and balanced. Bill found his ideal mash bill in the kitchen, cleverly testing mash bills through bread in order to quickly test recipes without distilling and aging. It's the red winter wheat that imparts the front-of-palate sweetness that Maker's is known for.
To ensure consistency, they rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time, in our solar powered warehouses. Each and every bottle of Maker's is still hand-dipped in their signature red wax at their distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, just like Bill Sr. would have wanted.
