Maker’s Mark as a brand was founded by Bill Samuels Sr. in the 1950s, but the Samuels family’s distilling roots stretch back much further into Kentucky’s bourbon history. The anniversary celebrates not just the brand, but the broader heritage of American whiskey craftsmanship that Maker’s Mark has come to represent on the world stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhat makes Maker’s Mark a wheated bourbon?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaker’s Mark is a wheated bourbon\u003c\/strong\u003e because it uses \u003cstrong\u003esoft red winter wheat\u003c\/strong\u003e as the secondary grain in its mash bill instead of the rye that most bourbons use. This substitution — made deliberately by founder Bill Samuels Sr. to create a smoother, less harsh bourbon — produces a distinctively softer, sweeter flavor profile with less of the spicy bite associated with rye-forward bourbons. The wheat contributes a gentle grain sweetness and soft texture that has become the defining characteristic of the Maker’s Mark house style, and has influenced a generation of wheated bourbon producers who followed in its footsteps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eWhere can I buy Maker’s Mark 250th Anniversary Limited Edition Bourbon Whiskey?\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can purchase it online through \u003cstrong\u003eDel Mesa Liquor\u003c\/strong\u003e with nationwide shipping available.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maker's Mark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44201053847595,"sku":"DM17086L","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1277\/3667\/files\/Maker_sMark250thAnniversaryLimitedEditionBourbonWhiskey.jpg?v=1781505464","url":"https:\/\/www.delmesaliquor.com\/products\/maker-s-mark-250th-anniversary-limited-edition-bourbon-whiskey","provider":"Del Mesa Liquor","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
