In this Episode of The Bourbon Life Podcast, Matt and Mark spend some time with Denny Potter, Master Distiller, and Jane Bowie, Head of Innovation & Blending, of Maker’s Mark.

The guys talk with Denny and Jane about some exciting things that have gone on with Maker’s Mark since they both originally appeared as guests on the Podcast in Episodes 25 & 67, respectively, including Maker’s Mark’s recent certification as a B Corp and what that means for the Distillery, the development of the DNA Project that explored the results of changing the barrel entry proof from the standard 110 Proof to also include barrels at 115, 120, & 125 Proof and the results of that experiment, and the recent changes to the Maker’s 46 bottle and packaging and the reasoning behind those changes which are probably not what you think they might be.

They also taste and review Maker’s Mark 101, Maker’s Mark Wood Finishing Series FAE-02, and Maker’s Mark 46 Cask Strength.
