Description
If you're looking for a smooth, sweet and easy-to-drink whisky, you've found it. Maker's Mark Classic Bourbon was carefully developed by sixth-generation distiller Bill Samuels Sr. to be just that. Still made to his unique recipe, this full-flavored bourbon is subtly woody with flavors of vanilla, caramel and fruit. It's easy to drink neat, and can pull its weight in a cocktail. Mix it with ginger ale and lime for an effortless long drink.
This one literally changed the way we think about bourbon, all because one man changed the way he thought about making it. Bill Samuels, Sr., wanted a whisky he would enjoy drinking. Never bitter or sharp, Maker's Mark® is made with soft red winter wheat, instead of rye, for a one-of-a-kind, full-flavored bourbon that's approachably smooth. To ensure consistency, we still rotate every barrel by hand and age our bourbon to taste, not time. Just like Bill would have wanted. Once it's ready it's bottled at 90 proof, hand-dipped in our signature red wax. Just think of it as our seal of approval.
Since its establishment, Maker's Mark has continually impressed critics, winning double gold at the San Francisco World Spirits Competition in 2020 and 2021.

Firstly the bottle is very impressive the design of the dripping wax down the sides from the top is brilliant! Lovely full bodied whisky with a creamy soft taste. Definitely a new favourite here drank on its own or even if you need it with a mixer

I'm not usually a Bourbon drinker but I was looking forward to trying this brand. As I am not a whiskey or bourbon connoisseur I'd not heard of the brand before. I really liked the wax seal as it added a touch of sophistication too. I enjoyed this with cola and ice and was pleasantly surprised with its smooth taste and caramel flavours that came through. Looking forward to trying this mixed with a lemonade or even as a cocktail too as I think the flavours would go well.
Top notch bourbon

This bourbon is both smooth enough to drink on its own or in a classic cocktail such as an Old Fashioned. Maker's Mark is amongst the best bourbons I've imbibed and highly recommend it.
Love this!

Finally found a nice bourbon I can drink without any mixer! This is my new favourite bourbon and I have certianly tried a few. I used to mix my bourbon with cola but over the last few months I have gotten used to the taste on its own and finding a nice bourbon to do that with is great. The bottle has a nice look to it but I'm not a fan of it being a screw top rather than a cork (might just be me lol) The taste is very smooth and a very easy drink to have. Full of vanilla and caramel notes. Beautiful

I really enjoyed this well rounded bourbon. It has a nutty taste combined with vanilla, very warming. I enjoyed drinking this neat with just ice as the flavour is so good and has zero burn; it's enjoyable to slowly sip on, to truly savour. I love the presentation and they use a red wax seal to secure the drink.

Maker's Mark is an exceptional whiskey; it's smooth yet comforting when drinking. The woody, vanilla notes really come through, especially when drunk on the rocks (neat with ice). I really liked the wax seal around the bottle; it gave it an added vintage and special feel. It's the ideal bottle to open around friends. It would also make a really good gift for anyone who likes whiskey. 10/10 for design and ease of opening. 10/10 for taste.
My new go to whisky!

Not only does the packaging give a luxury feel, but the whisky is smooth and subtle. It makes for a perfect mixer and really does taste delicious with hints of caramel and vanilla!

Lovely bourbon whisky. Great to match with a mixer or as a little tipple on its own if that's what you prefer. Prefer a single malt myself but this was lovely to try for a bit of a change. Lovely bottle and lid before opening.

Really enjoyed trying this whisky. Firstly, I love the packaging. The melted wax is a great feature, making each bottle unique and giving a real feel of a premium product. It's really easy to Open and a nice looking bottle to have on the side. Lovely tasting and very versatile in use. I have enjoyed on the rocks and also made a whisky sour which was lovely.
Very smooth

I recieved this free from home tester club to try. I really enjoyed this whisky. It was really smooth, with a subtle smoke/oak and vanilla flavour. Did not feel strong and was really easy to drink slowly on the rocks. I did try it with coke and follows some of the ideas of recipes from the company. Using this to make a whisky sour was great, otherwise recommend having it neat. Lovely bourbon.

An average whisky which tastes similar to many others on the market. A pleasurable drinking experience but nothing that makes it stand out from others on the market. Isn't one I'd rush to buy again but wouldn't be upset to receive it as a gift

I really enjoyed this bourbon whisky although it is 45% volume. I was worrying might be too strong but is just perfect for my test buds. It is very rich in taste, some fruity, spicy and gentle hint of vanilla flavour. It does not smell like usual whisky. The bottle is fancy with the wax on top. I will definitely buy again.
Lovely

Not my usual drink of choice, but a nice rice woody flavour! Not sure I would drink it on its own, but it works well in coke - delicious. This would make a lovely gift too as the bottle is fab
