For the third year in a row, their Cellar Aged release remains on of my favorite bottles of the year. This 2025 release of Cellar Aged builds on the success of the previous years and brings a more chocolatey character to the party – with lots of fudgecicle and smore notes throughout. And while that sounds like it’d be dessert in a glass, there’s still just enough of that savory baked bread quality that Maker’s is known for to keep it from going sickly. The 2024 version had a bit more vanilla cream, while this one’s addition of a zesty citrus brings nice balance to the palate and finish.\" \u003c\/em\u003e- Chris Ellis, The Whisky Study (95 Points)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cem\u003e\"\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eThis latest Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged is a worthy addition to the line.

Creating a bourbon that’s always aged to taste, not time. A bourbon without the bite, that’s always smooth. Aging our whisky for over a decade wasn’t something we ever did. Not because we didn’t believe in it, but because we hadn’t found our way of doing it. In many ways, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged defines an older whisky, that’s distinctly Maker’s. One rooted in challenging convention, asking \"what if\" and building on a taste vision that’s generations in the making. By embracing both the maturation impact of our traditional warehouse and the unique maturation impact of our Limestone Cellar, we’ve created an expression that's richer and complex, without the bitterness.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maker's Mark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48244603355351,"sku":null,"price":579.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0246\/9753\/6596\/files\/tds-makers-mark-cellar-aged-2023-2025.jpg?v=1769669896"},{"product_id":"makers-mark-wood-finishing-series-the-stewards-release-2026-kentucky-straight-bourbon-whiskey-750ml","title":"Makers Mark Wood Finishing Series 'The Stewards Release' 2026 Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 750mL","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUS Only Release\u003cbr\u003e2026 Release\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e54.9% \/ 109.8 Proof\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stewards Release continues to celebrate the artistry of the Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series, utilising innovative oak stave techniques to craft bold and complex flavours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Stewards Release celebrates the dedicated team at Star Hill Farm, who meticulously oversee every aspect of the process to produce Maker’s Mark.

On the palate, that current of forest notes turns tannic, oaky and spicy, but that is moderated by a certain non-descript, earthy quality. The sweet side clings to character that is very much like benchmark bourbon brown sugar plus vanilla, with those dark berry notes stirred in.
