Description
Maker’s Mark 46 Cask Strength is the full-intensity expression of Maker’s 46, taking their signature wheated bourbon and elevating it with seared French oak staves and higher proof for deeper richness and structure.
Proof & Build
Typically bottled between 109–114 proof, delivering a bold, uncut version of the classic Maker’s profile.
Style & Process
After aging, French oak staves are added to the barrel and the whiskey is re-finished, creating enhanced layers of spice, toasted oak, and complexity that set it apart from standard Maker’s releases.
Tasting Profile
Nose
Rich and inviting with crème brûlée, toasted vanilla, caramel, and baking spice, layered with hints of dark chocolate and subtle char.
Palate
Full-bodied and powerful. Waves of caramel, butterscotch, and dark vanilla lead into bold oak, cinnamon, and baking spice. The wheated mash bill keeps it smooth and balanced despite the higher proof.
Finish
Long, warm, and structured, with lingering toasted oak, spice, and a slightly dry, elegant sweetness.
