Maker's Mark Cask Strength | 55.1% | 70cl | Double Platinum 2026 | Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey

Everything you love about Maker's Mark — turned up to maximum. Maker's Mark Cask Strength takes the iconic wheated bourbon that has defined the brand for over 70 years and presents it exactly as it comes from the barrel: undiluted, unfiltered, and full of the rich, warm character that makes Maker's Mark one of the world's most beloved whiskeys. Built on the same mash bill featuring red winter wheat instead of rye — giving it that signature smooth, sweet profile — the cask strength bottling at 55.1% ABV delivers an entirely new depth of flavour. Double Platinum winner at the 2026 ASCOT Awards.

About Maker's Mark

Founded in 1953 by Bill Samuels Sr. in Loretto, Kentucky, Maker's Mark set out to make a bourbon that was smooth enough for people who said they didn't like whiskey. The secret was simple: replace rye with red winter wheat in the mash bill. The result was a softer, sweeter, more approachable bourbon that changed the landscape of American whiskey. Today, every bottle is still hand-dipped in the brand's iconic red wax at Maker's Mark Distillery — a National Historic Landmark. The Cask Strength expression honours that heritage while delivering the fullest, most intense Maker's experience possible.
