Maker’s Star Hill Farm 2026 Release

Named World’s Best Wheat Whisky at the World Whiskies Awards 2026, this is the first American wheat whisky from Maker’s Mark, and a landmark release. Crafted from three distinct wheat varieties grown on the estate, soft red winter wheat, hard white wheat, and heirloom hard red, the 2026 edition delivers a darker, denser, and more complex profile than its predecessor. Bottled at 58.2% ABV, expect molasses, fig, zesty citrus, ripe pear, and a lingering finish of rich sweetness and soft cinnamon.
