This limited bottling of Maker’s Mark Cask Strength stands out because it carries an age statement of around 7 years (often ~7 years 2 months)—which is slightly older and more developed than many standard Maker’s releases.

Proof & Build

• Typically around 109–113 proof
• Bottled straight from the barrel (no dilution)
• Wheated mash bill keeps it smooth despite the higher proof
• Small batch selection (often ~24 barrels per batch)

Tasting Profile (Premium Style)

Nose

Deep caramel, toasted oak, vanilla bean, and warm baking spice with hints of dark sugar and light fruit.

Palate

Rich, oily, and full-bodied. Layers of toffee, brown sugar, and dark caramel dominate, followed by cinnamon, nutmeg, and a touch of orange peel. The extra age brings more oak structure and depth compared to standard Maker’s.

Finish

Long and warming with lingering oak, spice, and a slightly dry, toasted sweetness that balances the richness.
