Maker’s Mark 101 Limited Release Bourbon is a bold expression of the iconic wheated Kentucky straight bourbon, bottled at a higher proof for amplified flavor and character. Crafted at Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky, this limited release takes the brand’s signature smooth profile and elevates it with added richness and intensity at 101 proof.

Presented in a premium red gift box, this limited release is perfect for collectors and bourbon enthusiasts seeking a more powerful pour.
