This time, we are in front of a collection that includes ten cocktails with inimitable names, that demonstrate personality and that have one thing in common: the unique Maker’s Mark’s aroma. The ingredients used are grape juice, apple, vanilla syrup, and black chocolate or mint liquor, among others.

Along with the most revolutionary presence, we can highlight its disparate inspirations, such as the Californian Gold Rush, the musical atmosphere at the New Orleans’s streets or the southern tradition. All mixed together, creating the Maker’s Mark’s intense combination, filled with a distinct flavour.

This “cult brand” was created in one of the oldest distilleries in the world, whose origins date back to 1840. It is characterised by being very easy to drink. With six years of ageing, it is known for being in the highest level by whiskey connoisseurs. Its personal composition, the use of pure water filtered with limestone during spring and its recipe based on local maize, barley malt and soft red winter wheat, have made of it, the first premium bourbon of all times.

Thanks to its ageing, at new white oak barrels with a toasted interior, and its handcraft procedure in traditional roller mills, it has achieved a sweet and intense flavour. This distinctive procedure enhances a particular identity and a delightful flavour to any palate. And above all, its features have made of it a perfect combination in the mixology industry.

‘It is a great honour to collaborate with Maker’s Mark. It is a pleasure to be able to create and innovate with different cocktails that give bourbon that ‘is what is not’ touch, through different combinations and offering a different way to enjoy them.’
