New Makers Mark Recipe

[LarryH]

I read in my Maker's Mark Ambassador email that they have been working on a new recipe for about a year and a half. Here are some excerpts from the website.

"The flavor is incredible. It has an intense, sweet, oaky toast aroma and, at 94 proof, it is unbelievably smooth."

"Brad Boswell, President of Independent Stave, and I collaborated to create a process that would marry the flavor of Maker’s Mark with the unique flavors found when oak is heated sizzling hot, blistering the wood on the outside, while locking in the flavor in the middle. It’s really something folks."

It's so new they still haven't come up with a name for it. The first tasting will be held at the Thoroughbreds & Redheads event at Keeneland Race track in Lexington, Kentucky in April. I doubt that I'll make that weekend event but I'm really looking forward to trying it. The process for roasting the barrels sounds really interesting.

Thanks for the information...I will make the Keeneland event for sure so look me up if you make it over.

I will definitely let you know. My Brother lives in Nashville and works for a liquor distributor there. I've already dropped a bug in his ear.

Sounds interesting. I wonder how long it will take to make its way out here.

I was wondering the same thing. The tasting in April is to get preliminary feedback from potential customers. I'd say it will be months after that before any hits the shelves.

What they have done is put toasted oak staves into the barrels to give them a new finish. I believe that the proof has also gone up to 94 proof from 90 proof. It will also be listed as coming from the Star Hill Distilling Company which is the original name for Maker's Mark.

My Brother just sent a video link to an interview with the Makers Mark Master Distiller Kevin Smith. I thought some of you might enjoy it. You may want to turn off HD. It made it choppy on my laptop.
