Maker’s Mark 2022 Wood Finishing Series BRT-02

Our Wood Finishing Series is a chance to push the flavor boundaries of our classic bourbon in truly pioneering ways.

For our 2022 releases, we’ve created expressions inspired by our unique history of barrel rotation. Hand-rotating 200,000 barrels a year is key to both our DNA and our consistent whisky.

BRT-01 tells a story of the first three years of extraction at the top of the warehouse, which experiences large temperature swings. You’ll get more barrel extractives with caramel and a hint of tastiness. BRT-02 is all about the final years of reaction at the bottom where it’s cooler year-round. You’ll find darker, heavier characteristics along with some fruit and chocolate.
