Makers Mark Private Selection Eclair and Present Danger might be the most dessert-like bourbon we’ve tried. Milk chocolate, vanilla, and a hint of spice make this Youngsville ABC 2024 pick unforgettable.

In this Tortured Bourbon episode, Heather and B explore the Kentucky roots of Maker’s Mark with a deep dive into Star Hill Farm—the source of their new 2025 American Wheat Whiskey. This 100-proof wheat whiskey blends sustainability, terroir, and soft red winter wheat into a pour that’s as elegant as it is drinkable.
