What makes this a great opportunity?
Maker's Mark Bourbon is the embodiment of the entrepreneurial spirit. Our founders, Bill Sr. and Margie Samuels, embarked on a deliberate mission to create a bourbon they would proudly share with their neighbors, family, and friends. In the early 1950s, they burned their old family whisky recipe and meticulously crafted every detail of their bourbon. One of their iconic decisions was to hand-dip every bottle in the now-famous red wax. Since then, our commitment to their vision has remained unwavering. We continue to craft our bourbon with purpose and consistency, striving to create remarkable experiences for fans worldwide.
