Maker’s Mark is shaking things up with Star Hill Farm, a new wheat whiskey spotlighting the eponymous farm in Loretto, Kentucky, as well as the soft red winter wheat that the distillery has long bet on. In making Star Hill Farm whiskey, the distilling team played with a number of mashbills before ultimately landing on two: the first, which makes up about 75% of the final whiskey, consists of 70% soft red winter wheat and 30% malted barley, while the other is 100% malted soft red winter wheat. A total of five different barrels were used for maturation, with various types of oak in the mix. The component whiskeys were vatted together for 30 days before being bottled at cask strength, 57.35% abv, with a price tag of $100. Whisky Advocate has the full story.
