Maker's Mark Distillery Dinner

If you know Bourbon, you know Maker’s Mark – it’s an American Icon.

Join us for an evening celebrating Maker’s Mark, the iconic Kentucky bourbon crafted by Bill Samuels Sr. in 1953. Known for its wheated mash bill, hand-dipped red wax, and small-batch tradition, Maker’s Mark delivers a softer, more approachable expression of the classic American whiskey, and we are very pleased to present the various interpretations of this brand, paired with the cuisine of Chef Matt Burrill.
