Product Description
Maker’s Mark 46 Cask Strength Bourbon is a rare, high-proof gem crafted from Bill Samuels Jr.’s signature blend and aged to perfection using à la Maker’s “46” method, then bottled full-strength (750 ml, 110.8 proof) without dilution.
🧠 What Makes It Special
-
Bill’s Personal Touch: This limited-edition release honors the exact “Recipe 46” vision—starting with fully matured Maker’s Mark bourbon and finishing with seared French oak staves in the limestone cellar.
-
Uncut & True: Barrel-proof—no water added—so you get the bourbon as it came from the barrel, delivering a full, rich intensity.
👃 Aroma
-
Deep, dessert-like sweetness: hints of fig, chocolate, caramel, almond, and dark fruit like fig and cherry—classic French oak influence.
👄 Flavor Profile
-
Rich & layered: Waves of caramel and vanilla give way to chewy dark fruits, spiced oak, tobacco leaf, coffee bean, and warm baking spice (white pepper, cinnamon, chai-like notes).
-
Exceptionally smooth—no harsh alcohol burn, thanks to the brand’s wheated mash bill and expert finishing.
🌬️ Finish
-
Long, warming, and oak-driven with lingering coffee, spice, and tobacco tones—balanced sweetness helps it stay approachable even at cask strength.
⭐ Community Praise
From r/bourbon:
“Color me impressed…françoak nose full of it…vanilla and toffee…fig and cherry.”
“Impressively woody…oak-heavy but smooth…coffee bean note hangs around.”
Reviewers consistently find it delivers rich, dessert-like flavors beneath a robust oak and spice structure, while still honoring Maker’s iconic smoothness.
In summary: a bold, full-throttle expression of the Maker’s legacy—Bill’s premium recipe, seared French oak finishing, and barrel-proof intensity combine for a richly flavored, sophisticated bourbon with every sip.
“And with its intense yet approachable take on the original Maker’s Mark taste vision, this is one cask-strength whisky equally at home on its own or in a classic cocktail.”" The Whiskey Wash
