"The announcement pointed to "honey, toasted marshmallow and candied ginger" flavors, for one thing. As for the finish, Maker's Mark suggests that "stone fruit and salted caramel" will be among the points of reference here."
"In a statement, master distiller Dr. Mark Layfield said that this particular bourbon was "inspired by the operational leaders at Star Hill Farm and the care that goes into every step of production.""
"In 2024, Maker's Mark revealed that the revival of the Wood Finishing Series was intended as another five-year project, which means that there are still two more bourbons to come now that this one is out in the world."
Maker's Mark has released The Stewards Release, the third installment in its Wood Finishing Series, which uses distinctive wooden staves during aging. This bourbon features flavor notes of honey, toasted marshmallow, and candied ginger, with a finish of stone fruit and salted caramel. Master distiller Dr. Mark Layfield created this expression inspired by operational leaders at Star Hill Farm and their dedication to production quality. The whiskey is available in two proof levels: 109.6 proof and 113.3 proof. Following the 2024 announcement that the Wood Finishing Series would continue as a five-year project, two additional bourbons remain planned. The Stewards Release is now available at retailers for $74.99.
