Maker's Mark Small Batch Bourbon (750mL)

Maker's Mark is a hand crafted small batch type of bourbon whisky distilled in Loretto, Kentucky. The first bottle of Maker's Mark was sold in 1958 and featured the dipped red wax seal. Unlike most bourbons, Maker's Mark is not aged for any specific period of years; rather it is bottled and marketed when expert tasters agree that it is ready. Also, the barrels are moved from the lower to the upper floors of the warehouse and back down during the aging process to benefit from the differences in temperature at the various levels. This practice was once common in the distilling industry, but has been largely abandoned due to the high labor expense. Maker's Mark is sold in unusually-shaped squarish bottles which are sealed with a red plastic resembling the original wax seal. In the United States, only one variety is marketed, bottled at 90 U.S. proof (45% alcohol by volume).
