2. Maker’s Mark 46

Insider Monkey Score: 16

Price: $44

Originally released in 2010, Maker’s Mark 46 starts off as standard Maker’s Mark, which is a wheated Bourbon made in batches of less than 1,000 gallons. Then, ten heavily seared French oak staves are placed in just-emptied standard Maker’s Mark barrels, which are then refilled and returned to the warehouses to finish aging for an undisclosed amount of time (estimated to be 2-3 additional months).

Owned by Beam Suntory, the Maker’s Mark Distillery is the sixth-largest Bourbon distillery in the world.
