The history of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky

Makers Mark Bourbon Whisky is a somewhat atypical Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey that is produced in Loretto, Kentucky. The first special feature of Maker's Mark is its name. Unlike other American whiskeys, the (e) in Whisk(e)y is omitted, which is why it is called Makers Mark Bourbon Whisky. More exciting than the name of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky, however, is its history, which began in 1780. At that time, former officer Robert Samuels went from Pennsylvania to Kentucky to settle there as a farmer and distiller. The whiskeys produced by Samuels, however, were intended more for personal use, and it was not until his grandson Taylor Williams that he began producing bourbon whiskey commercially in 1844. The family business was then successfully continued by William Isaac and Leslie and reopened after the dry years of Prohibition with a new distillery. The distillery is now run by the seventh generation and produces around 4,000 litres of whiskey a day, which is very little compared to other American bourbon whiskey distilleries.

The production of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky

Along with the name, the production method of Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is also unusual. A very high proportion of sour mash (around a third) is used. The mash is composed as follows: 70% corn, 16% barley malt, 14% winter wheat.

Normally, rye is used instead of wheat for bourbon whiskey, but it is the wheat that gives Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky its special flavour. Furthermore, during distillation, care is taken to only use up to around 62.5% ABV. is highly distilled so that more aromatic substances are retained in the distillate. Maker's Mark also takes particular care in choosing the barrels. These are stored in the open air for around a year before filling to extract the tannins. This process is obviously very expensive, but it is of great benefit to Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky. One of the biggest buyers of used Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky barrels is the Scottish malt distillery Glenmorangie, which also pays great attention to outstanding barrel quality. After storage, Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is bottled in distinctive bottles and then dipped head first by hand in red sealing wax. This is how the famous Red Seal Maker's Mark Bourbon Whisky is created, which is highly valued by connoisseurs all over the world.

Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey, 1 L, 43%
Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey, 1 L, 43% About Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is the second best-selling whiskey in the USA and is produced in the Heaven Hill Distillery in Bardstown/Kentucky. Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey came onto the market in the 1960s and is named after the whiskey pioneer Evan Williams. He was the first commercial distiller in Kentucky and registered his craft in 1783. The recipe for today's Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey supposedly dates back to that time. Evan Williams had to stop producing bourbon whiskey after about 20 years because his neighbors felt harassed and forced him to give up. The neighbors may not have liked the production of Evan Williams' bourbon whiskey, but the members of the "Board of Trustees" liked it all the more. Evan Williams was also active there and made the sessions more bearable for all participants with his bourbon whiskey. Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is in line with other well-known whiskey brands from Heaven Hill, such as Elijah Craig and Henry McKenna, which are also named after bourbon whiskey pioneers, but is by far the most successful whiskey in this series. The production of Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is a very traditional bourbon whiskey, which is largely produced using the same complex methods as around 1783. This means that the mash is produced using the sour mash process and the subsequent fermentation uses a yeast strain that has been in the family for 7 (!) generations. The subsequent distillation takes place in copper column stills that are over 20 meters high, producing a distillate with a strength of 68 - 70% vol. The Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is then diluted with spring water from the region to a cask strength of 62.5% vol. and filled into charred new barrels made of American white oak to mature for 4-20 years. After the maturation process is complete, the Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey is bottled at a strong 43% vol. The master distillers of the Evan Williams Bourbon are Parker and Craig Beam - no strangers in the bourbon whiskey industry... The taste of the Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey In the color of strong amber yellow, Evan Williams Bourbon Whiskey offers complex, sweet caramel candy, vanilla and peppermint on the nose. Light and balanced in body, notes of spicy, sweet vanilla, toasted oak and toffee dominate. Evan Williams offers a bourbon with a good price/performance ratio and is ideal for entry into the bourbon whiskey segment. Caramel and light fruit notes paired with subtle spiciness.

Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey, 1 L, 40%
Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey, 1 L, 40% Whiskey production after Prohibition In 1934, shortly after the end of Prohibition, Heaven Hill Distillers Inc. was founded in Bardstown, Kentucky by the Shapira family. At the time, this new market was a highly speculative business, comparable to the internet market of the 1990s. The risk for Heaven Hill was enormous, as it had no brands or whiskey stocks of its own - and this in the middle of the "Great Depression". After a short, successful production phase, the distillery was closed by the US government in 1942 to produce spirits for the war effort. After the end of the war and the entry of Earl Beam, from the Jim Beam Company, as master distiller in 1946, things went steeply uphill again. It was finally in 1957 that Evan Williams Bourbon was introduced and quickly became the most popular bourbon in the USA. Heaven Hill Distillery today Over the years, Heaven Hill introduced numerous successful brands such as Elijah Craig and Rittenhouse Rye and became the largest family-run spirits company in the USA. The company now has 900,000 barrels of whiskey in its halls. These are the seventh largest bourbon whiskey stocks in the world. In addition to bourbon, the company also sells other spirits such as Hpnotiq Liqueur and Pama Pomegranate Liqueur. Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey is the company's very high-quality base bourbon, which is a delight both neat and in cocktails. Heaven Hill Bourbon Whiskey is very young and is stored for at least 4 years and a little longer. The nose reveals an intense rye aroma and sweet spiciness. On the palate it is spicy, light with a hint of wood. The aftertaste is warm and pleasant with a sugar/caramel note.

Baker's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 7 Jahre, 0,7L 53,5 %
Baker's Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey 7 years, 0.7L 53.5% History and production of Baker's Bourbon 7 years: The Jim Beam distillery is undoubtedly one of the most famous and popular whiskey distilleries in the world. The Jim Beam White Label in particular, with its soft, gentle taste, represents the typical taste profile of a Kentucky Straight Bourbon like no other whiskey. The Jim Beam distillery was founded by Jakob Böhm, who was of German descent. The son of German emigrants moved from Pennsylvania to Maryland at the age of 18 to grow grain. As early as 1788, he produced his first whiskey from surplus grain. A few years later, he moved to Kentucky and operated a water-powered mill there. As payment for grinding grain, Böhm received grain from the farmers, which he used to produce whiskey. Jakob Böhm changed his name to Jacob Beam and in 1795 sold his first whiskey barrel under the name Old Jake Beam. In 1820, Jacob Beam handed over management of his distillery to his son David Beam. Today, the distillery is still in the hands of the Beam family. The Jim Beam distillery recently released four hand-selected, top-class Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskeys in the Small Batch Bourbon Collection. Particularly noteworthy is the Baker's Bourbon 7 Years, which goes back to a recipe from the former master distiller Baker Beam, Jim Beam's great-nephew. In addition to the obligatory corn content, 13% rye is added to the grain mash, which ensures a pleasantly spicy start. Storage for at least 7 years in fresh barrels made of American white oak is extremely rare for a bourbon and results in a full-bodied, complex taste. Only the best barrels from the distillery are selected for the Baker's Bourbon 7 years. This Kentucky Straight Bourbon is bottled in so-called small batches with a strong 53.3% alcohol by volume and sealed with black wax. Taste of the Baker's Bourbon 7 years: The Baker's Bourbon 7 years has a very dark color that is reminiscent of fine mahogany wood. On the nose, this whiskey is extremely complex and voluminous. Sweet notes such as vanilla, caramel and honey are accompanied by the smell of fresh mint and spicy oak. The rye content provides pleasant roasted aromas and a certain pepperiness. In the mouth, the Baker's Bourbon 7 years is powerful and complex. The typical bourbon notes are clearly evident, but are complemented by spicy hints of nuts, rye bread and green pepper. The high alcohol content also provides a lot of character. By adding a small amount of water, clear fruit and herbal notes also develop. The Baker's Bourbon 7 years is a whiskey close to perfection. Pure, it is extremely complex and harmonious. Sweet, spicy and fruity notes are wonderfully balanced and thus create a clear added value compared to conventional bourbons. Due to its powerful, spicy start, the Baker's Bourbon 7 years is also particularly suitable for classic cocktails such as the Old Fashioned.

Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey 0.5L 58.5% History and production of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey: The Journeyman Distillery was founded in 2011 by Bill Welten in the tranquil town of Three Oaks, in the US federal state of Michigan. Until a few years ago, the friendly master distiller worked in the family bank. This was sold and Welter looked for a new challenge. He traveled the world and lived in Scotland for a few years, where he fell in love with single malt whisky. The desire to distill his own whisky quickly grew in him. By a lucky coincidence he met Greg Ramsay. He runs his own distillery in Tasmania, Australia, where Welter was able to work for a few weeks. Bill Welter visited many more distilleries, mostly in the USA, and gained important experiences and impressions from every single one. Finally, the time had come for him to look for a suitable place for his stills. He finally found one in Three Oaks. The EK Warren featherbone factory, a former corset factory, was the perfect place for Welter to set up his own distillery. After an extensive renovation phase, production of his first-class organic spirits finally started in 2011. In addition to bourbon, wheat and rye whiskey, the craft distillery also produces various gin variations, vodka, rum and limited specialties. One specialty is certainly the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey, which is made from 100% organically grown wheat. Whiskey made from wheat is quite rare, as the production process is very complex and can only be managed with a lot of experience and skill. The result is extremely mild and soft, with intense notes of vanilla and caramel.

In the background, there are hints of raisins, apricots and spicy oak. You definitely can't tell how strong the alcohol is when you smell the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey. Rather, the aromas appear very delicate and harmonious, with no trace of alcoholic spiciness. The full power of the Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey is revealed in the taste. The high alcohol content ensures a powerful start. Notes of vanilla, toffees, marshmallows and biscuits are present. There are also spicy oak, black pepper and cinnamon. The Journeyman Corsets, Whips & Whiskey can easily tolerate the addition of water. This opens up the bouquet and light fruit aromas emerge.
