At this time, the family already has experiment in the whisky business and only one thing interested them : to create a sweeter bourbon. In order to reach this goal, all the ingredients were reunited : corn, barley, wheat and rye. These ingredients are the same as bread : the family had just to adjust the quantity of cereals to find the good recipe. This way aloud to win time and to find what Maker&#8217;s Mark is today. Little surprise (again) : there is no rye in this whisky. Then the first bottle of Maker&#8217;s Mark will be sold in 1958.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To get the &#8216;straight bourbon&#8217; denomination, the whisky must aged 2 years minimum in barrels. Then Maker&#8217;s Mark will be bottle when the distiller masters are happy about it. Moreover, the aging of this whisky is done traditionally : the barrels are moved down or up in the stages in order to get the temperatures changes (this method is quite expensive so it&#8217;s rare).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Today, Maker&#8217;s Mark in owned by Fortune Banks since 2005 (owner of different Golf brands, Starbucks Coffee Liquor or Jim Beam). In 2011, the alcohol part of the firm is re-baptised Beam Inc. and Bill Samuels (70 years old) retired. He let his son Rob at the top. In 2013, Maker&#8217;s Mark decided to decrease the alcohol level of its whisky from 45% to 42%&#8230; But the consumers weren&#8217;t agreeing, so this idea has been abandoned. Maker&#8217;s Mark has also a 50,75% whisky with gold wax and a 33% whisky with green wax for the Kentucky Derby (horses race).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"299\" height=\"169\" src=\"https:\/\/www.chloeandwines.fr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/makers-mark-wax.jpg\" alt=\"La cire pour la touche finale \" class=\"wp-image-1814\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8211;&nbsp;<strong>Maker&#8217;s Mark<\/strong>, Kentucky Small-Batch Bourbon<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Nice amber color in the glass with pretty drops.
