Maker’s Mark has introduced the 2024 launch of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged, the annual, limited-release expression that represents the distillery’s oldest launch ever. 

Just like the inaugural 2023 launch, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 is aged to style, not time. This 12 months’s iteration blends 12- and 13-year-old bourbons.

“We stunned the world with the debut of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged final 12 months, a daring step in our household’s legacy as a result of, for greater than 65 years, getting old our whisky for a decade-plus wasn’t one thing we did,” says Rob Samuels, eighth era whisky maker and managing director, Maker’s Mark.  “Staying true to our founders’ taste imaginative and prescient and our relentless pursuit of excellence, we’re thrilled to introduce our most mature bourbon but.”

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2024 combines 15% Maker’s Mark 12-year-old and 85% Maker’s Mark 13-year-old. It comes bottled at 59.7% ABV or 119.3 proof.

Aromas contains caramelized sugar, citrus and toasted almond, the distillery experiences. The palate brings buttery shortbread, coconut and vibrant spices, earlier than a end of dried darkish fruit and oak undertones.

“Delivering an elevated expression that’s distinctly Maker’s Mark, Cellar Aged finishes maturation in our LEED-certified cellar, constructed into the limestone shelf that surrounds us, making a richer, deeper and extra advanced bourbon, free from the harsher tannic results generally present in older American whiskies,” says Dr. Blake Layfield, head of innovation and mixing, Maker’s Mark.
