Maker’s Mark Cask Strength – Review

 

Started in 1953 by Bill Samuels, Sr. and his wife Margie Samuels, Maker’s Mark is a wheated bourbon made with soft, red winter wheat which is a departure from the commonly used rye as the flavoring grain in bourbon. The bottles have a distinctive red wax seal that was created by Margie Samuels. Legend has it that the wax and the shape of the bottle was inspired by Margie’s collection of 19th-century cognac bottles.
