Maker’s Mark Unveils First Non-Bourbon Whiskey Star Hill Farm — Coming Soon to Remedy Liquor

Whiskey fans, rejoice—Maker’s Mark has made history by releasing its first-ever non-bourbon whiskey, and you'll soon be able to experience it at Remedy Liquor. Known for redefining what wheated bourbons can be, Maker’s Mark is now taking bold strides into new territory with a stunning wheat whiskey Star Hill Farm.

Why This Release Matters

For decades, Maker’s Mark has been synonymous with wheated bourbon—a type of bourbon where wheat replaces rye as the secondary grain, resulting in a smoother, sweeter flavor profile. But now, with the launch of their non bourbon whiskey, the iconic Kentucky distillery is breaking the mold yet again.

Instead of following the traditional bourbon mash bill that requires at least 51% corn, this new release focuses heavily on red winter wheat. The result? A whiskey that’s softer, rounder, and perfect for those looking to explore the smoother side of American whiskey.

What Is Wheated Bourbon—and How Is This Different?

If you're wondering, what is wheated bourbon, you're not alone. In bourbon production, the “mash bill” (grain recipe) often includes corn, rye, and malted barley. Wheated bourbons swap the rye for wheat, mellowing the spice and enhancing sweetness.

Maker’s Mark’s new wheat whiskey pushes that concept even further—removing corn entirely and leaning into the rich, warm depth of wheat as the dominant grain. It’s a natural evolution for the brand, but a bold one that changes what whiskey fans can expect.

Tasting Notes: Smooth Meets Sophisticated

Expect a velvety mouthfeel, with flavor notes like:

• Honeyed wheat

• Toasted vanilla

• Buttery oak

• Gentle baking spice

This whiskey is ideal for sipping neat or in classic whiskey-forward cocktails like an Old Fashioned or a Whiskey Sour—especially if you’re looking for something less sharp and more rounded than rye-heavy spirits.

Available Soon at Remedy Liquor

Maker’s Mark’s first wheat whiskey Star Hill Farm is coming soon to Remedy Liquor, your go-to destination for rare, premium spirits.
