This rare expression is uncut, bottled at cask strength to deliver layers of caramel, almond, fig and chocolate that reach the palate in waves. Not your typical barrel proof, it offers standout flavour and smoothness – the result of a singular, French-oak finishing.

“My distillery team swore up and down i had to try Maker’s 46 at cask strength. It took some convincing – because 94 proof is my sweet spot for 46. It’s where that French oak finishing comes through with layers of caramel, vanilla and baking spice. But the intensified experience delivered at barrel proof opened up deeper and darker notes of chocolate and almond with a more complex finish. Well, they convinced me. And i think you will be convinced, too. This is a different kind of cask strength and a different side of 46.” – Bill Samuels Jr. (Son of the founders, Bill & Margie).

“For me, the end result is just about perfect. This is a full, rich bourbon that I can easily sip on for hours.” – Ed, Bourbon Obsessed

“Ditching its unique bottle shape and adopting the Makers Mark brand standard design, doesnt change the fact that Makers Mark 46 Cask Strength is still an enjoyable wheated barrel proof bourbon at a consumer-friendly price point.” Jordon Moskal, Breaking Bourbon
