Maker's Mark Cellar Aged 2026 Release Bourbon Whiskey

70cl / 56.10% - The fourth annual release of Makers Mark Cellar Aged pushes the distillerys wheated bourbon further into mature territory. The 2026 edition combines 49% 11-year-old bourbon, 33% 12-year-old and 18% 14-year-old, the largest proportion of 14-year-old Makers Mark used in the series so far. The whiskey spends roughly its first seven years in traditional warehouses before moving into Makers Marks limestone cellar for another four to six years. The cooler, more stable environment slows the impact of the oak, allowing the bourbon to gain age without losing the softer style associated with Makers. It is bottled at cask strength, with the formal 2026 release information listing 112.1 proof, or 56.05% ABV, rounded up to 56.1%.
