Maker's Mark 46 Cask Strength is a limited-edition Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that elevates the beloved Maker's Mark 46 to barrel proof. This exceptional bourbon is crafted using soft red winter wheat in the mash bill, which contributes to its signature smoothness even at high proof levels.

The whiskey undergoes a unique finishing process developed by Bill Samuels Jr., where fully-matured cask strength Maker's Mark is finished with 10 seared virgin French oak staves in the distillery's limestone cellar. The name "46" comes from the specific stave profile labeled "Stave Profile No. 46" by the Independent Stave Company.

Bottled uncut at its natural proof ranging from 107 to 114, this expression delivers intensified notes of rich dark fruit, figs, raisins, tobacco, and caramel. The aroma features strong caramel and almond with dark fruit undertones, while the taste presents heavy dark fruit and tobacco rounded out with caramel for complexity. The finish is long, dry, and warming. Screen-filtered to remove wood and char before bottling, this bold bourbon is crafted for enthusiasts seeking deeper, richer flavors beyond what lower-proof versions offer.
