Maker’s Mark Bourbon 42% ABV 2013 1.75L

Product Description

84 Proof • 42.0% ABV

These bottles were released in 2013 for a very limited time when the distillery decided to reduce the ABV of the bourbon from 45.0% to 42.0%. They quickly changed their decision.

Here is a statement from the distillery:

“Dear Friends,

Since we announced our decision last week to reduce the alcohol content (ABV) of Maker’s Mark in response to supply constraints, we have heard many concerns and questions from our ambassadors and brand fans. We’re humbled by your overwhelming response and passion for Maker’s Mark. While we thought we were doing what’s right, this is your brand – and you told us in large numbers to change our decision.

You spoke. We listened. And we’re sincerely sorry we let you down.”
