An Elevated Legend Refined – Maker’s Mark 46 Bourbon Whisky
Maker’s Mark 46 Bourbon Whisky is an expertly crafted, small-batch bourbon that elevates the iconic Maker’s Mark profile with an innovative finish. After the bourbon reaches full maturity, ten seared French oak staves—profile number 46—are inserted into each barrel before further aging, resulting in a richer, more complex spirit while maintaining the hallmark smoothness of the brand.

Craftsmanship
Maker’s Mark 46 is built on the distinguished wheated mash bill of Maker’s Mark but takes its flavor forward by finishing the whiskey in barrels fitted with virgin French oak staves. The finishing process occurs in the distillery’s cool limestone cellar, slowing maturation and enhancing flavor integration without imparting harshness. The name “46” references the stave profile number used in this finishing method.
Best Enjoyed
Sip neat or with a splash of water to uncover its layered complexity and smooth finish. It also serves beautifully in elevated bourbon cocktails where depth, elegance, and subtle oak character are desired.
Experience the enhanced richness, refined oak complexity, and artisanal craftsmanship of Maker’s Mark 46 Bourbon Whisky on Royal Batch – a bourbon that honours tradition while embracing innovation.
It starts with fully matured Maker's Mark straight out of the barrel. But then it takes a bold twist. We add seared French Oak staves to the barrel, and then age it a bit longer only in winter, when bourbon matures more slowly. The result is a whisky with bolder, more complex flavors, but one whose every sip delivers the smooth, approachable whisky that Maker's Mark is famous for.
