A limited 2026 release from Maker’s Mark’s Wood Finishing Series, “The Stewards Release” focuses on the people behind the whiskey-making process at Star Hill Farm. Built on the brand’s signature wheated bourbon base, it is finished with specially prepared toasted oak staves to deepen sweetness, texture, and spice. Bottled at cask strength, it delivers a more intense and layered expression of the classic Maker’s Mark profile. It’s both a technical showcase and a tribute-driven bottling within the series.

Maker's Mark Wood Finishing Series 2026 The Stewards Release Kentucky Straight Bourbon Whiskey Tasting Notes

Nose: Bright and rich with cherry, vanilla bean, caramel, and toasted oak, alongside soft baking spice and light honeyed sweetness.

Palate: Full and creamy — flavors of toffee, honey, and red fruit lead into cinnamon, gentle spice, and smooth toasted wood influence.

Finish: Long and warming with lingering caramel, soft spice, and a rounded oak sweetness that fades gently.

Distillery Information

Maker’s Mark is one of Kentucky’s most recognizable bourbon producers, known for its wheated mash bill that produces a softer, sweeter style compared to traditional rye-based bourbons. The Wood Finishing Series is its experimental extension, where fully matured bourbon is enhanced using custom-toasted oak staves inserted into the barrel. This process allows precise control over flavor development without altering the original aging entirely. The 2026 “Stewards Release” specifically highlights the craftsmanship and human element behind production, honoring the team responsible for maintaining quality throughout the process. As part of a continuing innovation series, it reflects Maker’s Mark’s balance between tradition and modern flavor exploration.
