Maker's Mark Distillery
Open Details
Maker's Mark appeared because of the desire of one family to create a bourbon to enjoy and share with friends. Today, such an idea does not seem revolutionary, but in 1953 it changed the industry.
The search for Bill Samuels, Sr., the founder of Maker's Mark, began with the unique copy of a family 170-year-old recipe. The taste of Maker's Mark was significantly different from similar drinks, so co-founder Margie Samuels wanted the bottle to match this unique taste and stand out on store shelves. The shape of the bottle, the label, the signature red wax instead of the cap, and even the name itself - Maker's Mark owes it all to Margie.
