Maker’s Mark
One of the most iconic bourbons to come from Kentucky, the wax-sealed bottle is a staple of the bourbon lover. The Maker’s Mark distillery tour gives an amazing insight into the making of this bourbon, coupled with the beautiful property where it all started.
In addition, you can even personally dip a bottle of Maker’s Mark in red wax which serves as the perfect souvenir!
