host Daniel Geneen heads to Loretto, Kentucky to tour the Maker’s Mark distillery and see how the company has kept its product smooth, sippable, and consistent for over 60 years.
The amount of manual labor that goes into the bourbon making process — from handling the barrels to the bottle’s signature red wax seal — surprised Geneen. For starters, one rule of bourbon-making is that you use a brand new white oak barrel every time, which means rolling, lifting, charring, and fillingThe bourbon-making process actually begins with coopering. Wood is “seasoned,” or dried out for nine to 12 months. Once dried, it’s cut, steamed, bent, and has hoops and logos added.
