Description

Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46 is a bottle we recommend to buyers who take the pour seriously. A set like this suits a shared tasting. As a result, we ship it expertly packed across the United States and Canada. Then, buying the set saves the work of tracking bottles separately.

What Makes Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46 Worth It

Oak tannin gives the finish structure rather than sharp edges. Overall, corn forward mashbills usually carry a rounded, gentle sweetness. Expect the warm oak character that defines the American whiskey shelf. Of course, the char layer typically pushes sweet baking spice into the glass. Better still, Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46 suits a pour you are in no rush to finish.

What to Pair It With

Caramel desserts echo the barrel character without competing. Meanwhile, smoked brisket stands up well to a full flavoured pour. Collectors reach for bottles like this when a shelf needs an anchor. That said, bacon wrapped appetisers pair neatly with a bourbon nightcap. Birthdays, retirements and promotions all suit a bottle of this kind. By comparison, pair it with Maker’s Mark Private Select 108 8 for a side by side tasting.

Bourbon Context Worth Knowing

Straight bourbon spends a minimum of two years in the barrel. For example, allocation keeps many sought after labels hard to find at retail. Barrel entry proof and warehouse position both shape the final liquid. Above all, United States law requires new charred oak for every drop of bourbon. American distillers built this category on corn, oak and patience. However, browse the wider bourbon whiskey collection to compare styles.

Getting the Best from Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46

Treat Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46 well and it repays the effort. Give the glass a minute to rest before the first sip. For that reason, a Glencairn glass concentrates aroma better than a tumbler. A few drops of water can open the aroma noticeably. In practice, a large ice cube slows dilution and keeps the pour cold. Notably, Maker’s Mark Private Selection Christmas Blend makes a natural next bottle.

In short, Maker’s Mark Whiskey Maker’s 46 is an easy recommendation for collectors and gift shoppers alike. We pack every order carefully and ship it without delay.
