About Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series FAE-01 2021 Release
The third release in the limited edition Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series, Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series FAE-01 2021 Release starts with a cask strength Maker’s Mark, which is then finished in barrels, containing proprietary wood staves.
The staves are seared on one side while the other is left raw. Bottled between 110.3 and 110.6 proof, FAE-01 brings specific flavors of dried fruit, oak, rich caramel, milk chocolate, and baking spices on the rich and full-bodied palate.
On October 1, 1953, William Samuels Sr. purchased Burks Distillery, which was situated in Loretto, Kentucky, for $35,000.
Five years later, the distillery released the first bottles of Maker’s Mark Bourbon Whisky, which featured the distillery’s distinctive red wax seal.
The distillery was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974 and was listed as a National Historic Landmark in 1980.
Made from a mash of corn, wheat, and malted barley, Maker’s Mark Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky (spelled without an “e” to honor the Samuels family’s Scottish heritage) manages to marry large-scale, global production with a rich tradition in a way that few other distilleries can rival.
The actual “makers” of Maker’s Mark still rotate the barrels in the distillery’s warehouses, bottle the whisky and dip the bottles in wax — all by hand.
