Overview

Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2025 Edition represents a watershed moment for the Kentucky distillery, the oldest wheated bourbon ever released under their name. This limited annual expression marries casks aged 11, 13, and 14 years in the distillery's cool limestone cellars, creating a whiskey of uncommon maturity and refinement.

Bottled at cask strength (56.5% ABV) and non-chill filtered, it delivers the depth and complexity of extended aging while retaining the signature softness that defines Maker's Mark's wheat-forward mashbill. The palate unfolds with caramelised oak, creamy orange fudge, dark cherry, and butterscotch—a sophisticated profile that rivals far pricier wheated bourbons. For those seeking a contemplative, barrel-strength bourbon with genuine provenance and restraint, this is a rare opportunity.
