The Maker's Mark PRIVATE SELECTION 50th Anniversary Kirsch Import Limited Edition is an exceptionally limited special bottling of the renowned Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whisky, created to mark the 50th anniversary of Kirsch Import. It is based on the characteristic Maker's Mark bourbon, whose original style dates back to the founding family’s recipe from 1953. As part of the Maker’s Mark Private Selection programme, selected partners can create a bespoke cask finishing. To achieve this, ten specially selected oak staves are placed in the cask; their varying toasting and treatment profiles have a targeted influence on the bourbon during its secondary ageing. Each Private Selection cask thus acquires a unique character, which Maker's Mark regards as the partner’s personal ‘thumbprint’.


For the Kirsch Import 50th Anniversary Limited Edition, a bespoke combination of ten staves in total was chosen: 3 Maker’s Mark 46 staves, 2 Baked American Pure 2 staves, 4 Seared French Cuvée staves and 1 Roasted French Mendiant stave. Baked American Pure 2 is particularly characterised by vanilla, honey and light fruits, whilst Seared French Cuvée contributes creamy notes, toasted caramel and almond. Maker's Mark 46 brings notes of dried fruit, baking spices and caramel, whilst Roasted French Mendiant contributes hints of milk chocolate, coffee and dried fruit. Bottled at a robust 55.4% ABV and limited to just 264 bottles, this Maker's Mark Private Selection for Kirsch Import is a particularly rare release for bourbon enthusiasts and collectors.
