Maker’s Mark | Wood Finishing Series 2021 | FAE-01 Limited Release Bourbon Whiskey

Maker's Mark has been tinkering with wood finishing for nearly a decade, inserting carefully chosen wooden staves into barrels full of already-matured bourbon to give it extra flavor and character. With their previous two limited releases, they used different unique staves to reach a specific taste profile.

For their 2021 release, Maker's took it further by only searing one side of their staves – leaving the other side raw – to extract separate flavors from each side of the individual staves.

Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series 2021 Release FAE-01 is amplifying the naturally present dried fruit and woody richness in a distinctively Maker’s way. It's said that this release tastes exactly how Maker's barrel warehouse smells: rich figgy notes complemented by tobacco undertones and a pleasantly dank woodiness.
