Maker's Mark Private Selection

Two Barrels. Two Recipes. One very limited release.

Men's Journal Spirits and Conrad Dodd of Whiskey Bonded have teamed up with Maker's Mark to create two one-of-a-kind Private Selection barrels.It started in the blending room at Maker's Mark in Loretto, Kentucky, with ten finishing staves and two different ideas. Conrad sent us the recipe that became Kentucky Snickerdoodle. Then the Men's Journal team built its companion, Kentucky Black Forest Cake.The remarkable part? The two recipes share seven of the same ten staves. Change just three pieces of wood and you get two completely different whiskies.
