The 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whisky delights with its deep, golden color. This not only gives it an appealing appearance but also reflects the rich tradition from which it originates.

Production of Maker's Mark 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whisky

The production of 46 Kentucky Bourbon Whisky takes place in several carefully executed steps. First, selected ingredients are used to ensure quality. The main components are premium corn, malted barley, and rye. These ingredients undergo a traditional mashing process. Fermentation then takes place, during which the yeast does its work and converts sugar into alcohol.
The distillation takes place in copper stills, which are known for their excellent heat conductivity. This process gives the whisky its unique character and ensures outstanding purity. After distillation, the whisky matures in carefully selected oak barrels, which impart vanilla and caramel aromas to the whisky. Finally, Maker's Mark adds a special process in which the whisky undergoes a second maturation to develop additional aromas that make it unique.
