LORETTO, Ky. , Aug. 18, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Maker's Mark®, the iconic handmade Kentucky bourbon, today announced the 2026 release of Maker's Mark Cellar Aged. Now in its fourth year, the annual release showcases one of the distillery's most mature blends to date, combining 11-, 12- and 14-year-old Maker's Mark bourbons. Aged to taste, not time, this year's release builds on the hallmark character of Cellar Aged, revealing new layers of depth, complexity and flavor through extended maturation.

"The limestone shelf that surrounds Star Hill Farm has shaped our bourbon from the very beginning, thanks to the innovative spirit of my grandparents, Margie and Bill Samuels Sr., who chose this land in 1953 for its exceptional water source and natural watershed," said Rob Samuels, Maker's Mark managing director and eighth-generation whisky maker.
