makers mark bourbon
Robert Samuels arrived in Kentucky in 1780. A third-generation Scotch-Irish emigrant, he went about making just enough bourbon whisky to keep himself and a few select friends very happy. The level of craftsmanship that Bill Samuels, Sr. started over 40 years ago is still practiced at Maker's Mark Distillery today. When Bill Samuels, Sr. bought the 200-acre site in 1953, it was the Burks Spring Distillery that had begun operation in 1805. In 1980, the entire distillery was recognized by then-U.S. Secretary of the Interior Cecil Andress. He designated Maker's Mark bourbon whisky Distillery a National Historic Landmark. Today Maker's Mark Bourbon is the smallest and oldest currently operating distillery in the nation.

There are strict laws governing just what a Bourbon must be to be labeled as such. For example, at least 51 percent of the grain used in making the whiskey must be corn (most distillers use 65 to 75 percent corn). Bourbon Whiskey must be aged for a minimum of two years in new, white oak barrels that have been charred. Nothing can be added at bottling to enhance flavor, add sweetness or alter color.
