Knowing it is not just a still which makes the difference in pumping out more whiskey, Maker’s Mark is also adding two new boilers, 21 more fermenters and a new grain roller. All of this equipment together allows for what’s the equivalent of “about 850,000 more Mint Juleps’ worth of Maker’s Mark per day” to be produced.
If you have not been to see Maker’s Mark, it is described as reportedly being the world’s oldest operating bourbon distillery and one of Kentucky’s most popular destinations for visitors. It was founded over 60 years ago by Bill Samuels, Sr., and it is expected the new still will create bourbon worthy of his name.
