Maker’s Mark DNA Project Review
The Maker’s Mark DNA project set out to experiment with 4 different barrel entry proofs: 110, 115, 120 & 125. The bourbons were all distilled on the same day, and aged in the same warehouse, on the same middle floor. They were not rotated. The barrels were aged for 8 years, which is longer than the usual ~6 years for Maker’s Mark. They were bottled at barrel proof, and if memory serves me, they were bottled as single barrels so the proofs will vary across each batch.
