Maker’s Mark announced the 2025 release of Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged: the global, limited-release expression that delivers the most mature whisky ever blended by the distillery. 

Now in its third year, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged blends 11-, 13- and 14-year-old Maker’s Mark.

“From the beginning, Maker’s Mark has gone to extraordinary lengths to craft an uncompromisingly delicious bourbon, and Cellar Aged 2025 is a continuation of that pursuit,” Rob Samuels, managing director and eighth-generation whisky maker, said in a news release. “An elevated expression that remains unmistakably Maker’s Mark, Cellar Aged finishes maturing in our LEED-certified limestone cellar, creating a richer, deeper and more complex bourbon.”  

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 blends 74% 11-year-old, 10% 13-year-old and 16% 14-year-old bourbon for a bold 56.45% ABV (112.9 proof). T 

“Our cellar, built into the natural limestone shelf that surrounds our Star Hill Farm distillery, plays a vital role in shaping the whisky’s final profile — just as our environment has done since our founding,” Dr. Blake Layfield, Master Distiller, Maker’s Mark, said. “Aging at consistently cool temperatures slows the extraction of wood tannins, allowing oxidation to do its work and developing a bourbon that’s more complex, yet remarkably approachable. By avoiding the overly bitter, tannic notes that can come with traditional long aging, this one-of-a-kind expression challenges everything you think you know about aged bourbon.”  

Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 will be available for a suggested retail price of USD $175 in the United States, Germany and select Global Travel Retail accounts beginning mid-September. Availability will follow in the United Kingdom, Australia, Korea, Japan, and Singapore later this year and into early 2026.  

In the United States, in addition to select retailers nationwide, Maker’s Mark Cellar Aged 2025 will be available for purchase at the Maker’s Mark Distillery beginning September 5th — kicking off Bourbon Heritage Month — by booking the Cellar Aged Experience at https://www.makersmark.com//distillery/visit-us.

In 1953, founders Margie and Bill Samuels, Sr. broke from tradition—burning the family’s 170-year-old recipe to create a bold, balanced bourbon made with soft red winter wheat for signature sweetness and creaminess. Every bottle is still hand-dipped in red wax, every barrel rotated by hand and every decision guided by the brand’s higher purpose. Maker’s Mark is proud to be both B Corp and Regenified Certified – milestones driven by the sustainability leadership at Star Hill Farm, home of the Maker’s Mark Distillery.
