Discover Maker’s 46 Bourbon Whiskey

Maker’s 46 Bourbon Whiskey is a premium Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey created by Maker’s Mark Distillery as the brand’s first new permanent expression since the original Maker’s Mark. Crafted using the signature wheated bourbon recipe, Maker’s Mark 46 is finished with specially seared French oak staves inserted into fully matured barrels, creating a richer, deeper, and more complex flavour profile.

Unlike traditional bourbon maturation, the finishing process enhances notes of caramel, vanilla, toasted oak, baking spices, and dark fruit while maintaining the smooth character that has made Maker’s Mark famous worldwide.

At Bourbon UK, authentic Maker’s 46 Bourbon is available for bourbon enthusiasts, collectors, and anyone seeking a refined Kentucky whiskey.
