The Maker's Mark Star Hill Farm series is one of the most genuinely exciting annual releases in American whiskey — a project that starts not in the distillery, but in the earth itself. Each year, the team at Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky explores how specific agricultural decisions — the grain varieties grown, the farming methods used, the soil itself — shape what ultimately ends up in your bottle. For 2026, the focus is wheat. Built from an extraordinary blend of soft red winter, hard white, and heirloom hard red wheat varieties, alongside a remarkable 62% malted wheat and a touch of malted barley, this is a bold, full-strength expression of regenerative agriculture and estate-grown distilling at its most ambitious. Bottled at a cask-strength 58.2% 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 American Whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eGrain Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blend of soft red winter wheat, hard white wheat, heirloom hard red wheat, 62% malted wheat, and malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 58.2% (Cask Strength)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVolume:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70cl\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRelease:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2026 Annual Limited Release\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRegenerative agriculture | Estate-grown production\u003c\/strong\u003e\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 Dark and dense with notes of molasses, fig, and delicate spice\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Vibrant and complex — zesty citrus, ripe pear, and shortbread with a satisfying weight from the full cask strength\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lingering and harmonious, with rich sweetness and a gentle warmth of soft cinnamon\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Maker's Mark Star Hill Farm\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker's Mark has always been defined by its distinctive soft, wheated mash bill — a recipe that sets it apart from the rye-forward bourbons that dominate Kentucky. The Star Hill Farm series takes that philosophy further than ever before, turning the distillery's own farmland into a living laboratory. The 2026 edition asks a specific question: can different wheat types genuinely change depth and character in the finished whiskey? The answer — delivered at cask strength, from a thoughtfully blended multi-wheat grain bill — is a resounding yes. This is craft distilling at its most purposeful and most transparent.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003ePerfect For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAmerican whiskey collectors seeking limited annual releases with genuine provenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eThose interested in the relationship between agriculture, grain, and flavour\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFans of high-strength, wheat-forward American whiskey\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA distinctive and conversation-starting gift for any whiskey lover\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.
