Maker’s Mark 101 Proof Bourbon Whiskey 1lt

Maker’s Mark, a well-known one-trick-pony brand, has expanded its portfolio over the past decade, debuting a cask strength version in 2014. The latest release, 101 Proof, is set to be the must-have Maker’s for 2020. First released for Travel Retail and later as a distillery exclusive in mid 2019, 101 showcases the bolder side of the Kentucky standard.

Master Distiller Rob Samuels explains that the front-of-the-tongue, delicious bourbon flavor remains with the soft red winter wheat, making it richer and more intense at a higher proof. Breakingbourbon.com compared 101 to cask strength and standard Makers, highlighting its rarity. With the entire Maker’s portfolio being just four bottles, long-time followers of the distillery know how rare new products are. If you’re a Maker’s completionist, grab it while you can.
