The Wood Finishing Series is Maker's Mark's experimental playground, taking fully matured, cask strength Maker's Mark and finishing it in secondary barrels fitted with proprietary toasted wood staves, then resting those barrels in the distillery's cool limestone cellar so the bourbon can slowly draw character from the wood. The FAE in the name stands for fatty acid esters, the naturally occurring compounds Maker's Mark preserves by never chill filtering its whisky, which give the bourbon both its fruity tones and its rich texture. FAE-01 was crafted to amplify the signature dried fruit and oak flavors Maker's Mark is known for, using ten virgin American oak staves that are seared on one side and left raw on the other. The charred side lends dark, leathery tobacco notes while the raw side yields fresh fruit, the two combining to create an intense, barrel aged fruitiness. The result is a bold, fruit forward bourbon with big aroma and flavor, like standing in a barrel warehouse. Built on the classic Maker's wheated mashbill of 70 percent corn, 16 percent red winter wheat, and 14 percent malted barley, and bottled non chill filtered at 110.6 proof, it delivers rich notes of dark fruit, leathery tobacco, oak, caramel, and warm baking spice. Widely regarded as one of the standout Wood Finishing Series releases, and now out of production, it is a rewarding bottle for the Maker's Mark devotee, the wood finishing enthusiast, and the collector alike. Enjoy it neat or over a single large cube.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eABV \/ Proof\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDistillery\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaker's Mark, Loretto, Kentucky\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProducer\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBeam Suntory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCategory\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eKentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (wheated)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eExpression\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWood Finishing Series 2021 Limited Release FAE-01\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMashbill\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70% Corn, 16% Red Winter Wheat, 14% Malted Barley\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFinishing\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10 Virgin Toasted American Oak Staves (seared one side, raw the other)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaturation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFully matured cask strength Maker's Mark, stave finished, rested in limestone cellar; non chill filtered\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eABV\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55.3%\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProof\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e110.6\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBottle Size\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e750ml\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCountry\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUnited States\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTasting Notes\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor:\u003c\/strong\u003e Deep reddish amber.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eNose:\u003c\/strong\u003e Big and bold, with dark fruit, leathery tobacco, and rich oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePalate:\u003c\/strong\u003e Fruit forward and full, with barrel aged dark fruit, tobacco, caramel, and oak spice.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e Long and warming, with lingering oak, dried fruit, and tobacco.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the Wood Finishing Series?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is Maker's Mark's limited, experimental line that finishes fully matured cask strength bourbon in barrels fitted with custom toasted wood staves, then rests them in the limestone cellar to develop unique flavor profiles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does FAE mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e FAE stands for fatty acid esters, the naturally occurring compounds Maker's Mark retains by never chill filtering, which contribute fruity flavor and rich texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow is FAE-01 different from FAE-02?\u003c\/strong\u003e FAE-01, the spring 2021 release, used American oak staves seared on one side to amplify dark fruit and leathery tobacco.
