Maker’s Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon

Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Barrel Proof Range: ~109.6–112.8 Proof (varies by batch) | 750 mL | Aged 7 Years+ (often labeled 7 Years 2 Months or 7 Years 5 Months)

Process & Profile

Maker’s Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon is Maker’s at full intensity—uncut, unfiltered, and bottled straight at natural barrel strength once it hits the flavor balance the distillery is looking for. Recent releases commonly show age statements like 7 years 2 months or 7 years 5 months, and the proof changes by batch, which is why you’ll see a range rather than one fixed number.

Because it’s wheated bourbon, the profile stays plush and dessert-forward even at barrel strength: deep caramel and vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spice—rich and bold, but rarely sharp.

Tasting Notes

• Nose: Toasted oak, salted caramel, warm vanilla, cocoa

• Palate: Caramelized sugar, vanilla cream, baking spice, deeper oak warmth

• Finish: Long, full, and warming with lingering chocolate-and-oak richness

What Makes It Special

• Cask strength varies by batch, so the bottle you get may land anywhere around 109.6–112.8 proof

• Common “7-year” labels include versions like 7 years 2 months and 7 years 5 months

• Wheated bourbon texture keeps it smooth and rich even at high proof

• Big flavor concentration without needing finishing staves or extra gimmicks

• Great for customers searching for a barrel proof wheated bourbon that’s still approachable

How to Enjoy

Sip it neat first, then add a few drops of water—this usually opens up more vanilla and caramel while rounding the heat. A single large cube works if you want a slower evolution and a softer finish. For cocktails, it makes an unreal Old Fashioned, but go easy on sweetener since the bourbon already brings plenty of dessert-style richness.
