Size: 750ML Proof: 116.4 (58.2%ABV) Origin: United States Distillery: Maker's Mark The second annual release of Star Hill Farm Whisky continues Maker's Mark's exploration beyond its iconic wheated bourbon recipe, placing wheat at the very center of the flavor experience. The 2026 edition is crafted from three distinct wheat varieties—soft red winter wheat, hard red wheat, and hard white wheat—creating a darker, denser, and more layered profile than the inaugural release. Bottled at natural cask strength and produced in limited quantities, it offers a bold yet elegant interpretation of what American wheat whisky can achieve.

Palate: Rich and complex with honeycomb, baked orchard fruits, buttery pastry, zesty citrus, malted wheat sweetness, and creamy vanilla balanced by warming spice. Finish: Long and harmonious with lingering sweetness, soft cinnamon, toasted cereal, gentle oak, and a silky wheat-driven texture. Distillery Information Maker's Mark has remained faithful to its original wheated bourbon mash bill since 1953, making Star Hill Farm Whisky one of the most significant innovations in the distillery's history. Named after the 1,100-acre farm surrounding the distillery in Loretto, Kentucky, the annual Star Hill Farm series explores the relationship between agriculture and flavor. The 2026 release blends two distinct mash bills—one composed entirely of malted wheat and another consisting of 70% wheat and 30% malted barley—utilizing soft red winter wheat, hard red wheat, and hard white wheat. The resulting whisky is a marriage of seven- and eight-year-old stocks bottled uncut at natural strength. Carrying Estate Whiskey certification, the release reflects Maker's Mark's commitment to regenerative agriculture and demonstrates how evolving grain selection can create a unique vintage expression each year while remaining rooted in craftsmanship and sustainability.
