Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2021

Maker’s Mark’s first 2021 limited release, FAE-01, uses an American oak stave that is seared on one side and left raw on the other. Maker’s has doubled down on their staves finishing to differentiate their limited release products from other companies. Instead of releasing a brand new Maker’s Mark bourbon, they continually alter their existing product. Not everyone is a fan of stave finishing, but the company has shown over the last few years the dramatic impact it can have on a whiskey, especially one as familiar and mainstream as Maker’s Mark.
