Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series The Keeper’s Release 2025

The second series of our limited Wood Finishing Series explores unique taste visions that celebrate those who craft our handmade bourbon at Star Hill Farm—the makers of Maker’s Mark. The Keeper’s Release is a one-of-a-kind expression inspired by the people who oversee the maturation of our whiskey, the true “keepers” of Maker’s Mark. Through cold winters and hot Kentucky summers, they deploy a deep knowledge of the aging process, hand-rotating casks to ensure every single drop of our whiskey emerges from the barrel at its very best. This bold expression features hints of oak and toasted sweetness. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do.
