Maker’s Mark, the iconic Kentucky bourbon driven by the pursuit of better flavour and a better world, has announced the 2025 release of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged: the global, limited-release expression that delivers the most mature whisky ever blended by the distillery. Now in its third year, Maker\u2019s Mark Cellar Aged is aged to taste, not time \u2013 blending 11-, 13- and 14-year-old Maker’s Mark to unlock new depths of flavour.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the beginning, Maker\u2019s Mark has gone to extraordinary lengths to craft an uncompromisingly delicious bourbon, and Cellar Aged 2025 is a continuation of that pursuit,\u201d<\/em> said Rob Samuels, managing director and eighth-generation whisky maker. \u201cAn elevated expression that remains unmistakably Maker\u2019s Mark, Cellar Aged finishes maturing in our LEED-certified limestone cellar, creating a richer, deeper and more complex bourbon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Meticulously crafted, Maker\u2019s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 blends 74% 11-year-old, 10% 13-year-old and 16% 14-year-old bourbon for a bold 56.45% ABV (112.9 proof). The result is bright and balanced with vibrant character and a long, smooth finish. The aroma offers rich notes of dark brown sugar, caramelized oak and baked apple. On the palate, creamy fudge, toasted almond and ripe dark cherry interplay with lingering hints of butterscotch, orange zest and soft baking spices.<\/p>\n

\"\"

\u201cOur cellar, built into the natural limestone shelf that surrounds our Star Hill Farm distillery, plays a vital role in shaping the whisky\u2019s final profile \u2014 just as our environment has done since our founding,\u201d<\/em> said Dr. Blake Layfield, Master Distiller, Maker\u2019s Mark. \u201cAging at consistently cool temperatures slows the extraction of wood tannins, allowing oxidation to do its work and developing a bourbon that\u2019s more complex, yet remarkably approachable. By avoiding the overly bitter, tannic notes that can come with traditional long aging, this one-of-a-kind expression challenges everything you think you know about aged bourbon.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 will be available for a suggested retail price of USD $175 in the United States, Germany and select Global Travel Retail accounts beginning mid-September. Availability will follow in the United Kingdom, Australia, Korea, Japan, and Singapore later this year and into early 2026.<\/p>\n
