Maker’s Mark, based in Loretto, Kentucky, is a small-batch, handcrafted whiskey. Squarish bottles of unusual shapes are used to sell this whiskey and red wax (polish) is used to seal these bottles. The distillery of the Maker’s Mark is placed in Loretto. It is the part of the Kentucky Bourbon Trail and American Whiskey Trail. Tours are also offered by them.
When distilling family of the T.W Samuels sold their trademarks and distillery in 1950s, a small distillery was searched by the Bill Samuels Sr. to buy and continue their family business on the smaller level, keeping in mind the quality instead of production volume. An older refinery was selected by him in Loretto, Kentucky that was not in operation for many years but this had a size of his desired level.
An entirely new recipe was decided to start by Bill Samuels Sr. for his distillery to make it run from the start. On the 31st of December 1974, “National Register of Historic Places” listed this distillery in its record and declared it as the “National Historic Landmark” later on in the month of December 1980. Maker’s Mark is marketed after being bottled when the ready status of this whiskey is agreed by the expert tasters.
Squarish bottles are used to sell the Maker’s Mark. The name of this whiskey “Margie” has been given for the Marjorie Samuels (wife of the T. William Samuels). Makers Mark was introduced in 1959 for the very first time in the market. There is only one variety which is marketed by them in the United States.
