The first limited release of the Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series. Developed in partnership with Independent Stave Company, RC6 is named for a proprietary stave profile crafted over the course of more than two years to draw out the fruit notes in Maker’s Mark without compromising its natural balance of baking spices and sweetness. Each RC6 virgin American oak stave is seasoned outside for 18 months – six months longer than usual – and then baked in a convection oven.
