Maker's Mark BEP 2023

Maker’s BEP starts off as standard Maker's Mark , which is a wheated bourbon made in batches of less than 1,000 gallons. Then ten virgin toasted American oak staves are placed in just-emptied standard Maker's Mark barrels, which are then refilled and returned to the warehouses to finish aging for an undisclosed amount of time. This is different from the standard Maker’s Mark 46 process, which uses 10 French oak staves instead. However what doesn’t change is the barrel entry proof, which at 110 proof, is the standard used by Maker’s Mark for their bourbons.

‍‍The release is cask strength, with proofs ranging from 109.9-110.7. BEP represents the 7th and final expression in Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series.
