Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey | Barrel Proof Range: ~109.6–112.8 Proof (varies by batch) | Aged 7 Years+ (often labeled 7 Years 2 Months or 7 Years 5 Months)
Process & Profile
Maker’s Mark Cask Strength 7 Year Bourbon is Maker’s at full intensity—uncut, unfiltered, and bottled straight at natural barrel strength once it hits the flavor balance the distillery is looking for. Recent releases commonly show age statements like 7 years 2 months or 7 years 5 months, and the proof changes by batch, which is why you’ll see a range rather than one fixed number.
Because it’s wheated bourbon, the profile stays plush and dessert-forward even at barrel strength: deep caramel and vanilla, toasted oak, and warm baking spice—rich and bold, but rarely sharp.
Tasting Notes:
Nose: Toasted oak, salted caramel, warm vanilla, cocoa
Palate: Caramelized sugar, vanilla cream, baking spice, deeper oak warmth
Finish: Long, full, and warming with lingering chocolate-and-oak richness
