Fans of Maker’s Mark, rejoice! The iconic bourbon distillery has just announced the inaugural release of the 2023 edition of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged. This innovative bourbon began as normal Maker’s Mark bourbon. After about six years of maturation in standard rickhouses, the barrels were moved to Maker’s Mark’s climate controlled limestone cellar to age for another five to six years. The consistent temperature and humidity slowed the maturation process, allowing the team to pull the barrels for bottling at exactly the right moment.
