Makers Mark 700mL is produced in small batches i.e A bourbon that is produced/distilled in small quantities of approximately 4,500 litres (20 barrels) or less from a mash bill of around 200 bushels of grain. Maker’s Mark’s mash bill has been the same for over half a century. Instead of the traditional rye, they use a foundation of red winter wheat. Each bottle is hand dipped in red wax so that no two bottles are the same. 4 Ws (water, wheat, wood and wax) are the four basic elements that make up Maker’s Mark.
