When you think of Maker\u2019s Mark, the first thing that likely comes to mind is the bottle\u2019s signature hand-dipped red wax top.<\/p>\n

Now, the brand is branching out into new territory. They\u2019ve not only released their first-ever wheat whisky with a new mash bill but also a bottle that doesn\u2019t carry the familiar wax dip.<\/p>\n

Dubbed Star Hill Farm Whisky, the idea for their first non-bourbon was to create a new brand that can evolve each year while celebrating Maker\u2019s commitment to regenerative agriculture. The brand has also just launched The Maker\u2019s Mark Regenerative Alliance and has transitioned a million acres into regenerative farmland. The mash bill removes corn entirely from the equation and features one with 70% soft red winter wheat (also part of the Maker\u2019s Mark formula) and 30% malted barley\u2014the other offering will be entirely 100% malted soft red winter wheat.<\/p>\n
