If you're doing to do the Kentucky Bourbon Trail or just visiting some of the distilleries, I recommend doing the tour at Kentucky Cooperage first. The barrel making process is one of the most interesting parts of the entire process, and you'll gain a greater understanding of why its so important before doing the distillery tours. Also, the Maker's Mark tour is outstanding.

I was just thinking why don't they reuse old pallets to make barrels, but then he said they've tried over 45 different breeds of tree and white oak is the only one that works. With a wait of 90 years for the trees to grow into the next generation of barrels, it's a good thing they have over a MILLION barrels in stock. Maker's Mark is a monster worth billions, I'd imagine.

Deforestation IS causing white oaks to become less common in the south. This claim that red maples are invasive is bs. Sure they grow fast, but they are native to the south, and when you chop down a forest they will naturally be the first to appear. They are what is known as a “pioneer species” and set the groundwork for other tree species to inhabit a forest, such as the white oak. If you keep cutting down forests before they have a chance to fully establish and harbor diverse species of trees then of course the white oaks will disappear, deforestation isn't giving them the proper environment to grow.

If you’re looking to get into bourbon, start with something that’s lower proof over something that’s 90 and above. Makers Mark, Buffalo Trace, Eagle Rare, Woodford Reserve is good too even though it may be a little higher proof ,etc.. all good choices. Once you’ve become more acclimated to the taste of bourbon and begin to understand what you like especially regarding wheat or rye bourbons, then you can start drink the higher proof bourbons. You don’t wanna start too high because that “ burn “ feeling will be pretty strong if you’re truly brand new to the stuff

Fun fact:....yall are being scammed, you REALLY think those barrels are left on racks for 6 years in a warehouse...they aren't they are kept on a secured area on water using a system called "sea aging" it allows them to get the same results of 6 years of regular warehouse aging in 6-8 months. If they had to wait 6 years for a barrel to age do you REALLY think they would be able to pump out 180,000 bottles a day everyday without fail? They just claim 6 years because there is no law against them lying about the "process" so long all ingredients are listed and the liquor is approved by la standards. But hey what do I know right?

You have to distill, then age for X amount of time, then bottle. You do this process every day, making new distillate and bottling what's put in barrels X amount of time ago. It doesn't matter whether X is a day or a decade; it's the same amount of work. The only difference is that the barrels need to be stored, so for 6 years you need more storage space, which is why they have those huge warehouses. It isn't quicker or easier or whatever to age for 6 months than it is to age for 6 years. In fact, building huge water tanks to put barrels in its probably a lot more work. Your "do you really think they'd be able to pump out this many bottles" is nonsense. The only trick is that they have to have put enough distillate in barrels 6 years ago, and it's not super hard to imagine that their production capacity was roughly similar 6 years ago as it is today. Please do the bare minimum of critical thinking before spouting your nonsense.

I feel like I've seen this video before, did makers mark do a show like how's it done/made? Or is this a reupload?

Ethan Kelly from Rogue would love this vid. 😂 The series was basically just Cole Hauser ordering Maker's all the time lol.

That's for sure. About the only good bottle of Jack Daniels is the Single Barrel Select but, of course, it's like $60 a bottle. Yeah, no thank you.

Bourbon sounds so sweet like a brand of cake biscuit hybrid product I didn't realise it was an alcohol brand.😂😂😂
