Maker’s 46 Makes Its Appearance
Maker’s 46 – a variant of Maker’s Mark bourbon – has been officially been launched. Maker’s 46 is created by removing fully matured Maker’s Mark bourbon from its barrel, affixing 10 seared French oak staves to the inside of the original barrel, then putting the Maker’s Mark back in and aging it several more months.
Maker’s 46 is said to contain notes of caramel, vanilla and spice with the number 46 referring to the 46th recipe created before identifying the unique stave profile.
Maker’s 46 is bottled at 47% alcohol by volume – 2% higher than regular Maker’s Mark – and is available for $55 per bottle.
