American distillery Maker’s Mark has presented its fourth Cellar Aged edition, a Kentucky bourbon matured longer than the standard bottling. The 2026 release combines 11-, 12- and 14-year-old whiskies (roughly 49%, 33% and 18%) and is bottled at cask strength, 112.1 proof, or about 56% alcohol.
After years in the traditional warehouses, the whisky is moved to a cellar cut into the limestone shelf at Star Hill Farm, where cooler temperatures slow its interaction with the wood. According to the company, this cooler maturation „allows the fruit to shine while keeping the oak in balance”. The edition goes on sale in the United States on 1 September 2026 at a suggested price of 175 dollars a bottle. The production volume was not disclosed.
