Maker’s Mark Bourbon Gift Set with Branded Reusable Water Bottle

Taste & Sensory Profile (The Bourbon)

• Nose: Sweet and floral with notes of honey, vanilla, and citrus peel.
• Palate: Exceptionally smooth and creamy. It leads with caramel and malted grain, followed by toasted oak and baking spices. Because it uses wheat instead of rye, it lacks the spicy "bite" found in most bourbons.
• Finish: Clean, soft, and gentle with a lingering sweetness of butterscotch.

Usage & Pairings

• The "Hiking" Serve: While we don't recommend mixing the two in the same container, the insulated bottle is designed to keep water ice-cold during a summer hike or a day at the track (like Keeneland), providing the perfect "sidecar" for a neat pour of bourbon later.
• Cocktail Pairing: The 90-proof bourbon is the gold standard for an Old Fashioned or a Gold Rush (bourbon, lemon, and honey).
• Savory Food: Gourmet Hot Dogs or Smash Burgers. The wheated sweetness of the whiskey complements the savory, salty char of grilled meats.
