Makers Mark mashbill refers to the specific combination of grains used to create the distinctive bourbon whiskey. It consists of 70% corn, 16% wheat, and 14% malted barley. This unique mashbill gives Makers Mark its signature sweet, smooth, and balanced flavor profile.
The mashbill is crucial in determining the taste and character of a bourbon whiskey. The high percentage of corn provides sweetness, while the wheat adds a soft, rounded texture. The malted barley contributes to the whiskey’s overall complexity and depth of flavor. Makers Mark has used the same mashbill since it was first created in 1953, ensuring consistency and quality in every bottle.
