Maker's Mark whiskies may be known for their red wax seals, but the whisky bottles underneath are far more varied than that first impression suggests. The Maker's Mark whisky range starts with Maker's Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky and Maker's Mark 46 French Oaked Bourbon Whisky, then turns bolder with Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon Whisky and Maker's Mark 101 Special Proof Bourbon Whisky. Maker's Mark Private Selection Bourbon Whisky, Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series Bourbon Whisky and Maker's Mark Cellar Aged Bourbon Whisky take it into more individual, limited and long-aged territory. Here are 7 best Maker's Mark whiskies, with their prices, taste profiles and ABV.
