The 2025 Keepers Release ushers in a bold new chapter of the Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series. This limited-edition expression is a tribute to the “Keepers of the Craft”—the bartenders, retailers, and whiskey stewards who share the Maker’s story every day. Collaborating closely with these industry insiders, Maker’s Mark created a unique stave profile designed to deliver bold flavor, refined balance, and a lasting impression.
