Maker’s Mark is a well mannered bourbon whisky. It seduces the palate with a character all its own and provides an opportunity in connoisseurship filled with taste nuances. It is both subtle and full-flavoured. It is never harsh or offensive, but is a warm, colourful, exciting experience. Maker’s Mark is highly thought of by friends and connoisseurs alike.
