Maker's Mark 46 was the first line extension in the brand's history since the 1950s — and it's utterly stunning. Built on the same iconic wheated mash bill as the original Maker's Mark, the 46 takes things further by inserting seared French oak staves into the barrels during maturation (stave profile number 46, hence the name). The result is a richer, spicier, more complex bourbon that complements the original without replacing it — a whiskey that rewards those who love Maker's signature smoothness but want an added dimension of depth and character. Bottled at 47% ABV.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand:\u003c\/strong\u003e Maker's Mark\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCountry:\u003c\/strong\u003e United States of America (Loretto, Kentucky)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Wheated bourbon (red winter wheat, no rye)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Seared French oak staves inserted during maturation (Stave Profile #46)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 47%\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAward:\u003c\/strong\u003e Recommended — Top 10 Whiskies of the Month, Oct 2025 (Master of Malt)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toffee sweetness and freshly cut wood sawdust — toasty and inviting, with sweet spices and deep, thick caramel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Creamy and soft at first, then it opens up with a spice explosion on the tip of the tongue — nutmeg, mulled wine spices, allspice, cinnamon, and a hint of hot apple juice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e A natural continuation of the palate, with sweet spices concentrating on the tongue in a remarkably distinctive way, before turning pleasantly grassy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Maker's Mark 46\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker's Mark has been crafting its signature wheated bourbon at Loretto, Kentucky since 1953 — and for decades, there was only one expression. The 46 changed that, introducing a new dimension through an innovative French oak stave finishing process. Bill Samuels Jr., son of the founder, developed the technique: by inserting seared French oak staves into fully matured barrels of Maker's Mark and allowing the spirit to integrate further, the whiskey takes on enhanced spice complexity and oak character without losing the smooth, sweet soul that defines the brand. It's a technique as clever as the whiskey it produces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eMaker's Mark fans looking to explore beyond the classic expression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose who enjoy smooth wheated bourbon with added spice and oak depth\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA great-value gift for any bourbon lover\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSipping neat, on the rocks, or in a spiced Old Fashioned\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDelivery \u0026amp; Authenticity\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery bottle sold by Whiskys.co.uk is 100% authentic and sourced through verified, trusted channels.
