Crafted at the historic Star Hill Farm in Kentucky, this limited annual release focuses on a wheat-forward mash bill, highlighting estate-grown soft red winter wheat and malted barley rather than the classic corn-dominant approach. Aged for approximately seven to eight years, the whiskey is bottled at natural cask strength, allowing its full character and texture to remain intact. The 2025 release showcases depth, warmth and complexity while retaining the soft, rounded profile for which Maker’s Mark is known. Aromatically, it signals richness and generosity, with layered sweetness and grain-driven nuance. On the palate, the whiskey delivers a creamy, expansive mouthfeel, balancing intensity with refinement despite its elevated alcohol level. Oak influence is present but measured, framing rather than dominating the core flavours. The structure and length suggest careful maturation and deliberate blending decisions. This release reflects Maker’s Mark’s ongoing commitment to innovation rooted in place, offering a distinctive expression that bridges tradition and experimentation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1388\" data-end=\"1405\"\u003eTasting Notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1407\" data-end=\"1415\"\u003eNOSE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1415\" data-end=\"1418\"\u003e– Rich and expressive\u003cbr data-start=\"1439\" data-end=\"1442\"\u003eAromas of caramel, honeyed grain and dried fruit emerge alongside baking spice, warm vanilla and subtle toasted oak.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1768\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1560\" data-end=\"1570\"\u003ePALATE\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1570\" data-end=\"1573\"\u003e– Creamy and layered\u003cbr data-start=\"1593\" data-end=\"1596\"\u003eThe palate opens with toffee and soft brown sugar, followed by notes of baked wheat, apple compote, vanilla pod and gentle spice, all carried by a rounded, weighty texture.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1905\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"1770\" data-end=\"1780\"\u003eFINISH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"1780\" data-end=\"1783\"\u003e– Long and warming\u003cbr data-start=\"1801\" data-end=\"1804\"\u003eA persistent finish of toasted nuts, cinnamon spice and oak warmth, lingering with balance and depth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2344\"\u003e\u003cstrong data-start=\"2094\" data-end=\"2112\"\u003eFiner Details:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr data-start=\"2112\" data-end=\"2115\"\u003eStyle – American Wheat Whiskey\u003cbr data-start=\"2207\" data-end=\"2210\"\u003eCountry – United States\u003cbr data-start=\"2233\" data-end=\"2236\"\u003eRegion – Kentucky\u003cbr data-start=\"2253\" data-end=\"2256\"\u003eRelease – 2025 Limited Annual Release\u003cbr data-start=\"2293\" data-end=\"2296\"\u003eBottle Size – 700ml\u003cbr data-start=\"2315\" data-end=\"2318\"\u003eABV – 57.4% (114.7 proof)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Makers Mark","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42498024833111,"sku":"MMSTARHILL","price":269.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0043\/9258\/3217\/files\/514a3c90-ed0d-46ca-ba00-8af3bc814e03.jpg?v=1769480947","url":"https:\/\/kentstreetcellars.com.au\/products\/makers-mark-star-hill-farm-bourbon-whiskey-700ml-2025-release","provider":"Kent Street Cellars","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
