Place on the Whiskey Shelf
With only a few wheated bourbons in the market, and many of them extremely difficult to find (e.g., Weller, Pappy, Parker's Heritage), and most mass-market competition coming from Larceny and Rebel Yell, Maker's Mark Cask Strength is an excellent buy, even at the $50-60 price point.
Maker's Mark is a small-batch bourbon whiskey produced in Loretto, Kentucky, by Beam Suntory. It is bottled at 90 U.S. proof (45% alcohol by volume) and sold in squarish bottles sealed with red wax.[1] The distillery offers tours, and is part of the American Whiskey Trail and the Kentucky Bourbon Trail.
