This bourbon from Maker’s Mark is one of the brand’s Wood Finishing Series Limited Edition releases for 2019.

These virgin American oak staves were seasoned for 18 months and then were baked in a conventional oven. Ten of these staves were added to a fully-matured cask strength Maker’s Mark barrel for additional aging. Only 255 barrels were produced. Proof will range from 108.2-110.5 and will be available initially at the distillery and select Kentucky retailers as of September 2019. A nationwide release begins October 2019.n October.

TASTING NOTES

“This whiskey has plenty of fresh, green banana on the nose, along with hints of baking spice and sweet vanilla. Those aromas are mirrored in the whiskey’s flavor, which exhibits a nice balance of vanilla and caramel notes like Maker’s classic offering, along with notes of ripe apple, cinnamon and black pepper.”

Unique Attributes

• The third limited release of the Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series, following SE4xPR5 in 2020.
• The American oak staves are cooked on one side only in order to maximize the flavors pulled from the staves — the infrared side for heavier wood extractives and the raw side to allow more fruit-forward elements (first time Maker’s has used a stave that has raw wood).
• Nonchill-filtering allows long-chain fatty acid esters (FAEs) to remain in the liquid, which contributes to the creamier mouthfeel and helps preserve and elevate the fruit notes.
