2026 Maker's Mark The Lost Recipe Series Edition 03 110.2 Proof 700ml

Bottled at a robust 110.2 proof, this third chapter in the Lost Recipe Series highlights an oak-forward stave profile dominated by nine Maker's 46 French oak staves alongside a seared French Cuvée stave. The resulting pour delivers concentrated layers of dark confection, rich spice, and deep toasted wood that elevate the soft red winter wheat base. It offers an exclusive, high-proof look into the boundary-pushing wood maturation program at Star Hill Farm.

Tasting Notes

Nose: Inviting aromas of toasted French oak and Madagascar vanilla lead into stewed dark cherries, butterscotch, roasted pecans, and a dusting of warm clove and nutmeg.

Palate: A viscous, mouth-coating texture carrying rich notes of caramelized brown sugar, dark cocoa, cinnamon stick, and ripe plum, perfectly tempered by the distillery's signature soft red winter wheat sweetness.

Finish: Long and intensely warming, lingering with refined oak tannins, cracked pepper, sweet tobacco, and a lasting resonance of mocha and vanilla cream.
