Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon image
2BAR Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon
2BAR Wine Barrel Finished Bourbon offers a delightful fusion of traditional bourbon notes with the added complexity of wine barrel influence. The aroma is rich with vanilla and caramel, enhanced by hints of red berries and oak from the wine barrels. On the palate, expect the classic warmth of bourbon, transitioning into fruity and spicy notes, thanks to the wine barrel finish. The finish is long and warm, balancing bourbon spice with subtle wine-induced sweetness.

Maker's Mark 46
The first bourbon in our wood-finishing series, Maker's Mark 46 was created by Bill Samuels, Jr., to amplify the flavors he loves in Maker's Mark. The innovative wood-stave-finishing process starts with fully matured Maker's Mark at cask strength. We then insert 10 seared virgin French oak staves into the barrel and finish it for nine weeks in our limestone cellar. The result is Maker's Mark 46: bolder and more complex, but without the bitterness typical of longer-aged whiskies. Want the full Maker's Mark 46 story?
