Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2023 is a remarkable limited-edition bourbon that represents a milestone in the distillery’s long legacy of craftsmanship. As the first release in the Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged series, it blends approximately 13 percent eleven-year-old barrels with 87 percent twelve-year-old barrels, all drawn from the brand’s signature wheated mash bill. Bottled at cask strength (around 57.85% ABV), this release showcases the evolution of Maker’s Mark flavor over time while preserving the brand’s trademark balance and smoothness.
The barrels used for this release were first matured in traditional rickhouses before being moved to a limestone cellar built into the hill at the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. The cooler, more stable environment slows the maturation process, allowing for extended aging that enhances complexity without excessive tannins. The result is a deeply layered bourbon that combines rich sweetness, oak structure, and refined maturity.
