Maker’s Mark recently announced this year’s Cellar Aged, the annual limited-release expression that delivers the distillery’s oldest release.
Like the inaugural release, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 is aged to taste, not time. This expression blends 15% Maker’s Mark 12-year-old and 85% Maker’s Mark 13-year-old at 119.3 Proof.
“We surprised the world with the debut of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged last year, a bold step in our family’s legacy because, for more than 65 years, aging our whisky for a decade-plus wasn’t something we did,” said Rob Samuels, 8th generation whisky maker and Managing Director, Maker’s Mark. “Staying true to our founders’ flavor vision and our relentless pursuit of excellence, we’re thrilled to introduce our most mature bourbon yet.”
“Delivering an elevated expression that’s distinctly Maker’s Mark, Cellar Aged finishes maturation in our LEED-certified cellar, built into the limestone shelf that surrounds us, creating a richer, deeper and more complex bourbon, free from the harsher tannic effects commonly found in older American whiskies,” added Dr. Blake Layfield, Head of Innovation and Blending, Maker’s Mark.
Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 is available for $174.99.
