Process & Profile

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 Straight Bourbon is a limited annual release from Maker’s Mark Distillery that highlights extended maturation under carefully controlled conditions. This 2025 edition blends barrels aged primarily 11 years, with additional stocks aged 13 and 14 years, making it the oldest Maker’s Mark release to date. After traditional aging, select barrels are finished in the distillery’s limestone cellar, where cooler, stable temperatures slow oak extraction and encourage refined development without excessive tannin.

Built on Maker’s Mark’s signature wheated mash bill of corn, soft red winter wheat, and malted barley, this expression preserves the brand’s hallmark softness while delivering added depth, structure, and concentration at elevated strength.
