Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon 'Made For The Brave' Limited Edition

Maker's Mark Cask Strength Bourbon 'Made For The Brave' Limited Edition is a Memorial Day release from Maker's Mark honoring the U.S. military — the signature Maker's Mark wheated bourbon mash bill (corn, red winter wheat, malted barley) bottled at cask strength of 110.5 proof (55.25% ABV) without chill filtration or dilution, in a specially labeled bottle recognizing those who serve.

Maker's Mark Cask Strength is the full-proof expression of the same wheated bourbon that defined the Maker's Mark style since 1958 — red winter wheat in place of rye as the secondary grain produces the soft, approachable sweetness that makes Maker's distinctive at any proof. At 110.5 proof cask strength, every element is amplified: the vanilla and caramel deepen, the wheat's natural sweetness becomes richer, and the oak integration from the rotating barrel warehouses expresses fully without reduction. The 'Made For The Brave' designation is a limited Memorial Day release — a portion of proceeds supports military-focused charitable organizations. The bottle label features patriotic design elements honoring the military community.
