Maker's Mark Cellar Aged Whisky 2023

Maker's Mark Cellar Aged Whisky 2023 is a distinguished release that represents the distillery's first foray into ultra-aged bourbon. This expression is a blend of 11-year-old (13%) and 12-year-old (87%) bourbons, initially aged in traditional warehouses before being transferred to a limestone cellar for extended maturation. This unique aging process allows the whisky to develop deeper, richer, and more complex flavors while maintaining the smoothness characteristic of Maker's Mark. Bottled at cask strength, 115.7 proof (57.85% ABV), it offers a robust yet balanced profile. The nose presents aromas of caramelized sugar, citrus, and almond. On the palate, you'll find notes of shortbread, rich coconut, and bright spice, leading to a long, mouth-coating finish with hints of dried dark fruit and toasted oak. This limited-edition release is perfect for collectors and enthusiasts seeking a premium bourbon experience.
