Makers Mark The Lost Recipe Series: Edition #01 2024 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 700mL

First Release In New Series

The first release in the Lost Recipe Series features the return of the Roasted French Mocha stave for layers of dark chocolate and buttery pastry, and notes of baked apple.

At Maker's Mark, we created a proprietary wood finishing process to explore unique expressions of our signature bourbon, originally crafted by my grandparents in 1953.

For years, our Private Selection program has allowed our closest friends and family to create their own version of Maker's Mark by developing a custom barrel recipe with 10 hand-selected wood staves. After retiring our first stave, we were curious to see if there were any hidden gems that were never found among the 1,001 possible recipe combinations.

The Lost Recipe Series shares these unique recipes that have never been tasted before and that will never be made again, each crafted with a retired stave from our Private Selection archives. We hope you enjoy this special find as much as we do.

Stave Profiles: 

Baked American Pure 2: Vanilla, honey and bright fruit.

Maker's Mark 46: Dried fruit, baking spices, caramel.

Roasted French Mocha: Dark chocolate, coffee, dried fruit.

Toasted French Spice: Clove, ripe fruit, orange peel.

"This is incredibly drinkable neat. Even at about 112° proof, you don’t need water or ice. It’s sweet with nice baking spices. This is a very tasty pour, and I’m really enjoying it." - Eric Burke, Bourbon Guy
