Edition 03 brings back the Mocha stave: the fully matured wheated bourbon is finished with ten oak staves — nine Roasted French Mocha and one Seared French Cuvée, per the bottle's own stave profile — layering roasted coffee and dark chocolate over the soft red winter wheat sweetness Maker's Mark is known for. Bottled at 110.2 proof (55.1% ABV) in a 700mL bottle, still hand-dipped in red wax at Star Hill Farm. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProof \/ ABV:\u003c\/strong\u003e 110.2 proof (55.1% ABV)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 oak staves — 9 Roasted French Mocha, 1 Seared French Cuvée\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMash Bill:\u003c\/strong\u003e 70% corn, 16% soft red winter wheat, 14% malted barley\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 700mL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Loretto, Kentucky\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Lost Recipe Series\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMaker's Mark finishes its bourbon by inserting combinations of ten oak staves into mature barrels, and over the years some stave recipes were retired to the archive. The Lost Recipe Series opens that archive back up. Edition 03 revives the Mocha stave — a profile long prized in private barrel selections for the chocolate and coffee depth it pulls from the wood — and applies it to the distillery's classic wheated bourbon.
