Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series SE4xPR5 2020 Release
Beginning as a standard Maker's Mark wheated bourbon, Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series SE4xPR5 2020 Release is finished with ten seared oak staves, which are placed inside the barrels. Two stave profiles were used – SE4 and PR5 – marrying virgin French oak with virgin toasted American oak staves. Finally, both bourbons are married and the final result is a complex blend of both stave finishes, bringing spiced vanilla, baking spices, burnt caramel, and a touch of sweetness on the palate. On October 1, 1953, William Samuels Sr. purchased Burks Distillery, which was situated in Loretto, Kentucky, for $35,000. Five years later, the distillery released the first bottles of Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky, which featured the distillery’s distinctive red wax seal.

Tasting Notes
The nose is oaky with dried vanilla bean, baking spices, and a touch of cinnamon apple. The palate brings more spiced vanilla, baking spices, burnt caramel, and a hint of sweetness. The finish is smooth with sweet caramel and vanilla, fading into oak and leather.
