Star Hill Farm Wheat Whisky is the first-ever American wheat whisky from the Maker's Mark distillery, crafted at their legendary Star Hill Farm in Loretto, Kentucky. Named the World's Best Wheat Whisky at the 2026 World Whiskies Awards, this expression represents a landmark achievement in American whisky-making and a testament to Maker's Mark's commitment to regenerative agriculture and estate-grown grain sourcing.

The whisky is Estate Whiskey certified by the Estate Whiskey Alliance and is crafted from three distinct types of wheat grown on certified regenerative farms. Soft Red Winter Wheat — the signature grain in the Maker's Mark mash bill — provides rich sweetness with notes of cinnamon and fig. Hard White Wheat contributes a silky texture with vibrant complexity, while Heirloom Hard Red Wheat brings fruity brightness and lingering spice. The three wheats are masterfully blended to create a spirit with remarkable depth and balance. Bottled at 116.4 proof (58.2% ABV) in a 700ml format.

The aroma is dark and dense with notes of molasses, fig, and delicate spice. On the palate, expect vibrant and complex flavors of zesty citrus, ripe pear, and shortbread. The finish is long and harmonious with rich sweetness and soft cinnamon. This whisky has earned Gold medals at the 2025 International Spirits Challenge, 2025 International Wine and Spirits Competition, and 2025 London Spirits Competition, as well as Double Gold at the 2025 San Francisco World Spirits Competition.
