Unlock a bolder, more intense side of Kentucky’s favorite wheated bourbon with the Maker's Mark Private Selection. This unique expression begins as fully matured Maker’s Mark at cask strength before undergoing a custom nine-week finishing process in a cool limestone cellar. By utilizing ten custom wood staves—including those specifically designed to amplify char, smoke, and deep roasted coffee notes—this "Charred Stave" profile pushes the standard caramel and vanilla sweetness into a sophisticated territory of dark chocolate, toasted oak, and spicy black pepper.
