Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky is a robust and intensified version of the original Maker's 46, offering a deeper exploration into the brand's innovative wood-finishing techniques. This expression is crafted by finishing matured Maker's Mark at cask strength with ten seared virgin French oak staves inserted into the barrel, imparting additional layers of flavor.

Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength begins with the distillery's classic bourbon, which is aged to maturity. The bourbon is then finished by inserting ten seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel, a technique that enhances the whisky's complexity and depth. Bottled at cask strength, this expression offers a more intense flavor profile compared to the standard Maker's 46.

Strong caramel and almond with dark fruit and figs, with notes of “heavy dark fruit, tobacco, and caramel” on the palate and a long, dry, and warming finish.
