Maker's Mark PRIVATE SELECTION 50th Anniversary Kirsch Import Limited Edition 55,4% Vol. 0,7l

The Maker's Mark PRIVATE SELECTION 50th Anniversary Kirsch Import Limited Edition is an exceptionally limited special release of the well-known Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey, created to celebrate Kirsch Import's 50th anniversary. It is based on the distinctive Maker’s Mark bourbon, whose original style traces back to the founding family’s recipe from 1953. As part of the Maker’s Mark Private Selection Program, selected partners can create a custom barrel finish. To do this, ten specially selected oak staves are placed in the barrel; their varying toasting and treatment profiles specifically influence the bourbon during its secondary aging. Each Private Selection barrel thus acquires a unique character, which Maker’s Mark regards as the partner’s personal “thumbprint.”

For the Kirsch Import 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, a unique combination of ten staves was chosen: 3 Maker’s Mark 46 staves, 2 Baked American Pure 2 staves, 4 Seared French Cuvee staves, and 1 Roasted French Mendiant stave. Baked American Pure 2 is particularly known for notes of vanilla, honey, and light fruits, while Seared French Cuvee adds creamy notes, toasted caramel, and almond. Maker’s Mark 46 brings notes of dried fruit, baking spices, and caramel, while Roasted French Mendiant adds hints of milk chocolate, coffee, and dried fruit. Bottled at a robust 55.4% ABV and limited to just 264 bottles, this Maker’s Mark Private Selection from Kirsch Import is an exceptionally rare release for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors.
