At 47% ABV, it delivers robust flavors while maintaining the signature smoothness the brand is known for. The French oak influence introduces sophisticated layers that elevate the bourbon beyond its original form, making it ideal for sipping neat or as the foundation of elevated cocktails.
Perfect for discerning spirits enthusiasts, Maker's Mark No. 46 pairs beautifully with fine dining occasions, premium cigars, and moments of refined relaxation aboard yachts or in upscale private settings.
