Maker's Mark is known the world over for its handmade premium bourbon. Created by sixth generation distiller Bill Samuels, Sr. in 1953, the smooth and approachable nature changed the bourbon industry. Still family run -- now by Bill's grandson Rob Samuels -- Makers Mark continues to innovate, creating bourbons that are as easy-drinking as they are revolutionary. To this day, every drop is made slowly in small batches, in the National Historic Landmark distillery in Loretto, Kentucky.
