Maker’s Mark Cask Strength Bourbon Whisky is the boldest expression from one of Kentucky’s most iconic distilleries, offering the beloved Maker’s Mark profile in its purest form. First crafted in Loretto, Kentucky, in 1953, Maker’s Mark revolutionized bourbon with its signature wheated mash bill, known for producing a softer, rounder flavor. The Cask Strength release takes that same recipe and bottles it uncut and unfiltered, straight from the barrel, delivering an amplified version of the classic Maker’s style.
Typically bottled between 108 and 114 proof, Maker’s Mark Cask Strength preserves all the intensity and depth that come from aging in new charred American oak barrels. It carries rich layers of vanilla, caramel, toasted oak, and baking spice, balanced by the signature smoothness of wheat that keeps it approachable despite its higher proof. Presented in Maker’s Mark’s iconic hand-dipped red wax bottle, this release has become a favorite for enthusiasts seeking authenticity, strength, and the full character of one of Kentucky’s most enduring bourbons.

Taste Notes & Food Pairings
Tasting Notes
Maker’s Mark Cask Strength Bourbon Whisky takes the soft, sweet character of the classic Maker’s Mark and amplifies it with barrel proof intensity. The nose opens with rich caramel, vanilla, and toasted oak, accented by warm spice. On the palate, it is full-bodied and robust, delivering layers of toffee, dark fruit, and roasted nuts, balanced by cinnamon, clove, and a touch of peppery heat. The finish is long and warming, with lingering sweetness, oak, and spice that showcase its powerful yet smooth nature.
Food Pairings
This cask strength bourbon pairs beautifully with grilled ribeye, smoked brisket, or barbecued ribs, where its bold flavors match smoky richness. It also complements roasted duck, glazed pork, or spiced lamb dishes. For cheese, try sharp cheddar, aged gouda, or blue cheese, balancing intensity with creamy sharpness. On the sweet side, it harmonizes with pecan pie, chocolate torte, or caramel flan, echoing its deep toffee and spice notes. As an after-dinner pour, it pairs perfectly with dark chocolate truffles or spiced nut pastries.
