Maker's Mark 46 is a Kentucky straight bourbon whiskey that is a unique and higher proof expression of the original Maker's Mark. It is made using the same traditional methods as Maker's Mark, but with the addition of French oak staves to the aging process.
The process for making Maker's Mark 46 begins by taking fully matured Maker's Mark bourbon and then adding 10 seared French oak staves into the barrels. These staves are made to exact specifications and are seared to caramelize the sugars in the wood, which adds a unique flavor profile to the whiskey.
After the staves are added, the barrels are then aged for an additional period of time to allow the flavors to marry and develop. The aging process for Maker's Mark 46 is typically around 9 weeks, although it can vary depending on the desired flavor profile.
The result of this extra aging process is a bourbon with a richer, more complex flavor profile compared to the original Maker's Mark. Maker's Mark 46 is known for its notes of caramel, vanilla, baking spices, and oak, with a smooth and full-bodied mouthfeel.
