Makers Mark Elma Wine & Liquor Private Select Bourbon

We are excited to have this particular Private Selection available while supplies last! In May of 2024 a few staff and bourbon enthusiasts of Elma Wine & Liquor travelled down to Kentucky to create our very own Private select from Makers Mark.

This signature bottle of Makers Mark features a combination of oak staves that we all pitched in on to create this one of a kind bourbon. Our combination features: 0 Baked American Pure 2, 2 Seared French Cuvée, 2 Maker’s Mark 46, 2 Roasted French Mendiant and 4 Toasted French Spice staves. Maker’s Mark then ages the whiskey with these specific staves for another 9 weeks before bottling at cask strength.

The staves add additional elements to the original Maker’s Mark product in the following ways:

• Baked American Pure 2 (P2) – American oak, low convection oven toast, classic cut (vanilla, honey and bright fruit flavors)
• Seared French Cuvée (CU) – French oak, infrared toast, ruffled cuts (Creamy, toasted caramel and almond)
• Maker’s Mark 46 (46) – French oak, seared and infrared toasting, classic cut (dried fruit, basking spices and caramel)
• Roasted French Mendiant (Mn) – French oak, low toast in convection oven, classic cut (Milk chocolate, coffee and dried fruit)
• Toasted French Spice (Sp) – French oak, high and low toast in convection oven, classic cut (Clove, ripe fruit and orange peel)
